(i) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement and provided that Borrower is not Streamline
Facility Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible
Accounts. Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance such
Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the
result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible
Account. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the
Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account on a case by case
basis.
(ii) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement and provided that Borrower is Streamline Facility
Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance Eligible Accounts on an
aggregate basis (the “Aggregate Eligible Accounts”). Bank may, in its good
faith business discretion, finance Aggregate Eligible Accounts by extending
credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate
multiplied by the face amount of the Aggregate Eligible Accounts. Bank
may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate or
Borrowing Base for the Aggregate Eligible Accounts on a case by case
basis.
(iii) Any
extension of credit made pursuant to the terms of subsections (i) or (ii) above
shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Advance”, and, collectively, the
“Advances”. When Bank makes an Advance, the Eligible Account or the
Aggregate Eligible Accounts each become a separate “Financed
Receivable”.
(b) Maximum Advances;
Sublimit.
(i) The
aggregate face amount of all Financed Receivables outstanding at any time may
not exceed the Facility Amount. In addition and notwithstanding the
foregoing, (A) the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding at any time may not

Streamline Facility Eligible, the aggregate amount of (1) Advances
outstanding hereunder, plus (2) the Dollar Equivalent amount of outstanding
Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any
Letter of Credit Reserve) issued pursuant to Section 2.1.2, plus (3) the FX

Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

accompanied by (i) an accounts receivable aging and a Borrowing Base Certificate
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
D, with respect to requests for Credit Extensions while Borrower is
Streamline Facility Eligible, or (ii) invoices, with respect to requests for
Credit Extensions while Borrower is not Streamline Facility Eligible. Bank
may rely on information set forth in or provided with the Advance Request and
Invoice Transmittal. In addition, upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall
deliver to Bank any contracts, purchase orders, or other underlying supporting
documentation with respect to any Eligible Account or Aggregate Eligible
Accounts.
(d) Credit Quality;
Confirmations. Bank may, at its option, conduct a credit check of
the Account Debtor for each Account requested by Borrower for financing
hereunder in order to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit before agreeing
to finance such Account. Bank may also verify directly with the respective
Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts
(including confirmations of Borrower’s representations in Section 5.3) by means
of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Bank from
time to time in its sole discretion; provided, however, prior to the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank will notify Borrower prior to
making any direct contact with Borrower ’s Account Debtors.
(e) Accounts
Notification/Collection. Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower
money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify and/or collect the
amount of the Account, provided, however, prior to the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, Bank will notify Borrower prior to making
any direct contact with Borrower’s Account Debtors.
(f) Early
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity
Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after written
notice of termination is given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately.
If this Agreement is terminated (A) by Bank in accordance with clause (ii) in
the foregoing sentence, or (B) by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall pay to
Bank a termination fee in an amount equal to (1) on or prior to the Anniversary
Date, Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00), and (2) after the
Anniversary Date, One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Early
Termination Fee”). The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on
the effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a
rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Early Termination Fee if
Bank agrees to refinance and redocument this Agreement under another division of
Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the Maturity
Date.
2
(g) Maturity. This
Agreement shall terminate and all Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be
immediately due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(h) Suspension of Credit
Extensions. Borrower’s ability to request that Bank make Credit
Extensions hereunder will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has
been a material adverse change in the general affairs, results of operation,
condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the
Obligations, or 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.
(i) End of Streamline Facility
Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower ceases to be Streamline
Facility Eligible, (i) all outstanding Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible
Accounts shall be immediately due and payable, together with all Finance Charges
accrued thereon, and (ii) all amounts outstanding and/or utilized pursuant to
Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 shall immediately be cash secured pursuant to
the terms of Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and/or 2.1.4, as applicable. Provided
no Event of Default then exists hereunder and subject to the terms of this
Agreement, Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, refinance the
outstanding principal amount of the Advances with new Advances made based on
specific Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof). In connection with same,
Borrower shall deliver to Bank an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit
C
containing detailed invoice reporting, signed by a Responsible Officer together
with a current accounts receivable aging and a copy of each invoice, all in
accordance with Section 6.2(h) hereof and Bank, in its good faith business
discretion, may finance same (in accordance with this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and each Eligible Account financed
shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of this
Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding principal
amount of the Obligations in connection with Advances made pursuant to Section
2.1.1 exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has made based on specific Eligible
Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection
with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower
maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the amount of
such excess.
(j) Commencement of Streamline
Facility Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower becomes
Streamline Facility Eligible, all outstanding Advances made based on Eligible
Accounts shall be immediately due and payable, together with all Finance Charges
and Collateral Handling Fees accrued thereon. Provided no Event of Default
then exists hereunder and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Bank may, in
its good faith business discretion, refinance such Advances with new Advances
made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement,
including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof). In connection with
such request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank (i) an Advance Request and Invoice
Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C
containing a current accounts receivable aging, and (ii) a Borrowing Base
Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
D, and Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, refinance the
outstanding principal amount of such Advances with new Advances made based
on Aggregate Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and the Aggregate Eligible Accounts
financed shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of
this Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding
principal amount of the Obligations in connection with Advances made pursuant to
Section 2.1.1 exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has made based on Aggregate
Eligible Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in
connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of
Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the
amount of such excess.
3
2.1.2
Letters
of Credit.
(a) For
so long as Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, upon Borrower’s request,
Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, issue or have issued Letters of
Credit denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency for Borrower’s
account. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of outstanding Letters of
Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letters of
Credit Reserve) may not exceed the amounts set forth in Section 2.1.1(b)
above. Any such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall reduce the
amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions hereunder. If, on the
Maturity Date, and immediately when Borrower is no longer Streamline Facility
Eligible, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date
Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (i) with
respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, one hundred and five
percent (105.0%), and (ii) with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in a
currency other than Dollars, one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar
Equivalent amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and
costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its
good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such
Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance
acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the
“Letter of Credit Application”). Borrower agrees to execute any further
documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably
request. Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and
interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guaranteed by Bank and
opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letters of
Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and
agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake,
whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those
contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or
supplements thereto, except for errors or mistakes directly resulting from
Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) The
obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under
Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall
be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such
Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.
(c) Borrower
may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign
Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letters of
Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent
of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as
wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of
exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for
transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency.
(d) To
guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any
Letters of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve
(the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) in an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of
the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Letters of Credit. The amount of the
Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account
for fluctuations in the exchange rate. While Borrower is Streamline
Facility Eligible, the availability of funds under Section 2.1.1 shall be
reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such
Letters of Credit remain outstanding.
(e) Borrower
shall pay Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of
Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, a letter of credit fee of two
percent (2.0%) per annum of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of each
Letter of Credit issued, upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on each
anniversary of the issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit, and upon
the renewal of such Letter of Credit by Bank.
2.1.3
Foreign
Exchange Sublimit. For so long as Borrower is Streamline Facility
Eligible, upon Borrower’s request, Borrower may use a portion of its
availability hereunder (which amount is set forth in Section 2.1.1(b)) to enter
into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to
purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a
“FX Forward Contract”)
on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”). FX
Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business
Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent
(10.0%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract. The amount otherwise
available for Credit Extensions hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to
ten percent (10.0%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”).
Any amounts needed to fully reimburse Bank for any amounts not paid by Borrower
in connection with FX Forward Contracts will be treated as Advances made based
on Aggregate Eligible Accounts and will accrue interest at the interest rate
applicable to Advances made based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts. If, on
the Maturity Date, and immediately when Borrower is no longer Streamline
Facility Eligible, there are any outstanding FX Forward Contracts, then on such
date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount consistent with
Bank’s current foreign exchange contracts policies to secure all of the
Obligations relating to such FX Forward Contracts.
4
2.1.4
Cash
Management Services Sublimit. For so long as Borrower is Streamline
Facility Eligible, upon Borrower’s request, Bank may, in its good faith business
discretion, permit Borrower to use a portion of its availability hereunder
(which amount is set forth in Section 2.1.1(b)) for Bank’s cash management
services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll,
business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various
cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management
Services”). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash
Management Services shall reduce the amount otherwise available for Credit
Extensions hereunder. If, on the Maturity Date, and immediately when
Borrower is no longer Streamline Facility Eligible, there are any outstanding
Cash Management Services, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash
collateral in an amount consistent with Bank’s current cash management services
policies to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Cash Management
Services.
2.2
Collections,
Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees. The Obligations shall be
subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Unpaid fees and Finance
Charges may, in Bank’s discretion, accrue interest and fees as described in
Section 9.2 hereof.
2.2.1
Collections.
Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivable Balance for such
Financed Receivable, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply
Collections to the Obligations in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a
payment for both a Financed Receivable and a non-Financed Receivable, the funds
will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is no Event of
Default then existing, the excess will be remitted to Borrower, subject to
Section 2.2.7.
2.2.2
Facility
Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of One Hundred
Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($112,500.00) is earned as of the Effective
Date, and is due and payable as follows: (a) Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
($75,000.00) is due and payable on the Effective Date, and (b) Thirty Seven
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500.00) is due and payable upon the earlier
to occur of (i) the Anniversary Date, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of
Default, or (iii) the early termination of this Agreement (the “Facility Fee”).
2.2.3
Finance
Charges. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations under this
Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on
account of the Obligations (a) with respect to Financed Receivables based upon
Eligible Accounts, three (3) Business Days after receipt of such
Collections, and (b) with respect to Financed Receivables based upon Aggregate
Eligible Accounts, on the day of receipt of such Collections. Borrower
will pay a finance charge (the “Finance Charge”) on the Financed Receivable
Balance or Account Balance (as applicable) which is equal to the Applicable Rate
divided by 360
multiplied by
the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding multiplied by (a)
with respect to Financed Receivables based on Eligible Accounts, the outstanding
Financed Receivable Balance, and (b) with respect to Financed Receivables based
on Aggregate Eligible Accounts, the outstanding Account Balance. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.1.1(i), Section 2.1.1(j) and/or Section
2.3.1(b)(i), the Finance Charge is payable when the Advance made based on such
Financed Receivable is payable in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.
After an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate will increase an additional five
percent (5.0%) per annum effective immediately upon the occurrence of such Event
of Default.
2.2.4
Collateral
Handling Fee. With respect to Financed Receivables based upon
Eligible Accounts, Borrower will pay to Bank a collateral handling fee equal to
0.15% per month of the Financed Receivable Balance for each such Financed
Receivable outstanding based upon a 360 day year (the “Collateral Handling
Fee”). This fee is charged on a daily basis which is equal to the
Collateral Handling Fee divided by 30, multiplied by the number of days each
such Financed Receivable is outstanding, multiplied by the outstanding Financed
Receivable Balance. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1.1(j), the
Collateral Handling Fee is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed
Receivable is payable in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof. In computing
Collateral Handling Fees under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank
shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of Obligations three (3) Business
Days after receipt of the Collections. After an Event of Default, the
Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional 0.50% effective immediately
upon such Event of Default.
2.2.5
Accounting.
After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide an accounting of the
transactions for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all
Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, Collateral
Handling Fee, and the Facility Fee. If Borrower does not object to the
accounting in writing within sixty (60) days it shall be considered
accurate. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees are calculated
on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.
5
2.2.6
Deductions.
Bank may deduct fees, Finance Charges, Advances which become due pursuant to
Section 2.3, and other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement from any Credit
Extensions made or Collections received by Bank.
2.2.7
Lockbox;
Account Collection Services.
(a) As
and when directed by Bank from time to time, at Bank’s option and at the sole
and exclusive discretion of Bank (regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred), Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor (and each depository
institution where proceeds of Accounts are on deposit) to remit payments with
respect to the Accounts to a lockbox account established with Bank or to wire
transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls (collectively,
the “Lockbox”). It
will be considered an immediate Event of Default if the Lockbox is not set-up
and operational on the Effective Date.
(b)
For any time at which such Lockbox is not established,
the proceeds of the Accounts shall be paid by the Account Debtors to an address
consented to by Bank. Upon receipt by Borrower of such proceeds, Borrower
shall immediately transfer and deliver same to Bank, along with a detailed cash
receipts journal.
(c)
Provided no Event of Default exists or an event that
with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within three (3) days
of receipt of any amounts by Bank (whether in the Lockbox, directly from
Borrower, or otherwise), Bank will turn over to Borrower the proceeds of the
Accounts other than Collections with respect to Financed Receivables based upon
Eligible Accounts and the amount of Collections in excess of the amounts for
which Bank has made an Advance to Borrower based upon Eligible Accounts, less
any amounts due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, the Facility Fee, payments
due to Bank, other fees and expenses, or otherwise; provided, however, Bank may
hold such excess amount and the proceeds of any Accounts (whether
Financed Receivables or non-Financed Receivables) as a reserve until the end of
the applicable Reconciliation Period if Bank, in its discretion, determines that
other Financed Receivable(s) may no longer qualify as an Eligible Account or
Aggregate Eligible Accounts at any time prior to the end of the subject
Reconciliation Period.
(d)
This Section 2.2.7 does not impose any affirmative duty
on Bank to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein.
All Accounts and the proceeds thereof are Collateral and if an Event of Default
occurs, Bank may apply the proceeds of such Accounts to the
Obligations.
2.2.8
Bank
Expenses. Borrower shall pay all Bank Expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of
this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when
due.
2.2.9
Good
Faith Deposit. Borrower has paid to Bank a deposit of Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Good Faith Deposit”) to
initiate Bank’s due diligence review process. Any portion of the Good
Faith Deposit not utilized to pay Bank Expenses will be applied to the Facility
Fee.
2.3
Repayment
of Obligations; Adjustments.
2.3.1

(a)
Borrower
will repay each Advance made based upon a specific Eligible Account on the
earliest of: (i) the date on which payment is received of the Financed
Receivable with respect to which the Advance was made, (ii) the date on which
the Financed Receivable is no longer an Eligible Account, (iii) the date on
which any Adjustment is asserted to the Financed Receivable (but only to the
extent of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable remains otherwise an
Eligible Account), (iv) the date on which there is a breach of any warranty or
representation set forth in Section 5.3, or a breach of any covenant in this
Agreement, (v) as required pursuant to Section 2.1.1(j), or (vi) the Maturity

Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.
(b) With
respect to each Advance made based upon Aggregate Eligible
Accounts:
6
(i) Borrower
shall pay to Bank, on the first day of each Reconciliation Period, all accrued
Finance Charges on the Advances made based upon the Aggregate Eligible Accounts;
and
(ii) Borrower
will pay the principal amount of the Advances made based upon Aggregate Eligible
Accounts on the earliest of: (A) the date on which the aggregate amount of
outstanding Advances, plus the Dollar Equivalent amount of outstanding Letters
of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of
Credit Reserve) issued pursuant to Section 2.1.2, plus the FX Reduction Amount,
plus the sum of amounts utilized for Cash Management Services pursuant to
Section 2.1.4, exceeds the Availability Amount (but only up to the amount
exceeding the Availability Amount), (B) the Maturity Date (including any early
termination), or (C) as required pursuant to Section 2.1.1(i). Each
payment will also include all accrued Finance Charges with respect to such
Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.
2.3.2
Repayment
on Event of Default. When there is an Event of Default, Borrower
will, if Bank demands (or, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
Section 8.5, immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all of the
Credit Extensions. The demand may, at Bank’s option, include any or all
Credit Extensions, and all accrued Finance Charges, the Early Termination
Fee, Collateral Handling Fee, the unpaid portion of the Facility Fee, attorneys’
and professional fees, court costs and expenses, and any other
Obligations.
2.3.3
Debit of
Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts for
payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank hereunder. Bank shall promptly
notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits shall not
constitute a set-off.
2.3.4
Adjustments.
If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, any Account Debtor asserts an
Adjustment, Borrower issues a credit memorandum, or any of the representations
and warranties in Section 5.3 or covenants in this Agreement are no longer true
in all material respects, Borrower will promptly advise Bank.
2.4
Power of
Attorney. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its successors and

CREATION
OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 Grant of
Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the
payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and the performance of
each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents, a continuing security
interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products
thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security
interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in the
Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted to have superior
priority over Bank’s Liens). If Borrower shall at any time, acquire a
commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed
by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a
security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank.
If this
Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in
cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time
this Agreement has been terminated, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert
to Borrower.

4.2 Authorization
to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to
file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate
jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder,
including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or
any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the
Code. Any such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all
assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or
lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion. Upon
Borrower’s reasonable request, Bank will provide Borrower with copies of any
financing statements filed by pursuant to this Section 4.2.
5
REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES
Borrower
represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due
Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries are duly existing and in good standing as Registered Organizations
in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to
do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of
their respective business or ownership of property requires that they be
qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with
this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank completed certificates signed by
Borrower (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants
to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection
Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an
organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the
Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that
Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office
as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive
office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past
five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure
or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all
other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and
agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the
Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one
or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a
Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify
Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational
identification number.
The
execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which
it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of
Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with,
constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law,
(iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by
which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may
be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or
qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority
(except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in
full force and effect), or (v) constitute an event of default under any
material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default
under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the
default could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s
business.
5.2 Collateral.
Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item
of the Collateral upon which it purports to xxxxx x Xxxx hereunder, free and
clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit
accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, the deposit accounts, if
any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection
herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and taken such actions as
are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein. The Accounts
are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors. All Inventory
is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material
defects.

Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a
warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate.
None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other
than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to
Section 7.2. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to
store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then
Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must
execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank in its sole discretion.
9
Except as
noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound
by, any material license or other agreement with respect to which Borrower is
the licensee (a) that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from
granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement
or any other property, or (b) for which a default under or termination of
could interfere with Bank’s right to sell any Collateral. Without prior
consent from Bank, Borrower shall not enter into, or become bound by, any such
license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on
Borrower’s business or financial condition. Borrower shall take such steps
as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose
consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to be
deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might
otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license
or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future.
5.3 Financed
Receivables. Borrower represents and warrants for each Financed

Financed Receivable is based on an actual sale and delivery of goods and/or
services rendered, is due to Borrower, is not in default, has not been
previously sold, assigned, transferred, or pledged and is free of any liens,
security interests and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens;
(f) There
are no defenses, offsets, counterclaims or agreements for which the Account
Debtor may claim any deduction or discount;

reasonably believes no Account Debtor is insolvent or subject to any Insolvency
Proceedings;

has not filed or had filed against it Insolvency Proceedings and does not
anticipate any filing;
(i) Bank
has the right to endorse and/or require Borrower to endorse all payments
received on Financed Receivables and all proceeds of Collateral;
and
(j) No
representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or
written statement given to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statement contained in
the certificates or statement not misleading.
5.4 Litigation.
There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s
Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any
Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change.
5.5 No
Material Deterioration in Financial Statements. All consolidated
financial statements for Borrower and any Subsidiaries 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
material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the
date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.
10
5.6 Solvency.
The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not
left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement;
and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they
mature.
5.7 Regulatory
Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important
activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of
the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or
a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used
in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has 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 have been used by Borrower
or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons,
in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous
substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have
obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or
filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are
necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently
conducted.

Subsidiary have timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower
and each Subsidiary have timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local
taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower and each
Subsidiary. Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided
that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by
appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b)
notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development
in, the proceedings, and (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to
prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a
Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”.
Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's
prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable
by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present
pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their
terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not
permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any
other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to
result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental
agency.
5.10 Full
Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement
of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the
date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together
with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or
statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that 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
or forecasted results).

9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES
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:
(a) declare
all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default
described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable
without any action by Bank);
(b) stop
advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement
or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) demand
that Borrower (i) deposits cash with Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of any letters of credit (including, without limitation, Letters of
Credit) remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any
future drawings under such letters of credit, and Borrower shall forthwith
deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees
scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any letters of credit
(including, without limitation, Letters of Credit);
(d) terminate
any FX Forward Contracts;
(e) settle
or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts, on
terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable and notify any Person owing
Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount
of such account. Borrower shall 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;
(f) make
any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its
security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the
Collateral if Bank requests 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;
(g) 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;
(h) ship,
reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise
for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby 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;
(i) place
a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of
exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions
pursuant to any control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any
Collateral;
(j) demand
and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
16
(k) exercise
all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or
equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of
the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2 Protective
Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance called for by
Section 6.4 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount
which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or by any other Loan
Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts
so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing
interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the
Collateral. Bank will make reasonable effort to provide Borrower with
notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a
reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make
similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of
Default.
9.3 Bank’s
Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable
banking practices regarding the safekeeping of Collateral in possession or under
the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the
safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any
diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any
carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.4 Remedies
Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict
performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to
demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver
hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and
then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is
given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under
the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is
not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing
waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election,
or acquiescence.
9.5 Demand
Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor,
notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity,
release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is
liable.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND
JURY TRIAL WAIVER
New York
law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of
law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
State and Federal courts in New York; provided, however, that if for any reason
Bank cannot avail itself of such courts in the State of New York, Borrower
accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Xxxxx County,
California. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal
action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other
security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in
favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such
jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower
hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal
jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the
granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such
court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints,
and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such
summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified
mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth at the beginning of this
Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to
occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in
the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
17
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR
RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED
UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION,
INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH
PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
12 GENERAL
PROVISIONS
12.1 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the
successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign
this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior
written consent which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion.
Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell,
transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any
interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement, the
Loan Documents or any related agreement.
12.2 Indemnification.
Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Bank and its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing
Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted
by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses incurred, or paid by such
Indemnified Person from, following, or arising from transactions between Bank
and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for
Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 Right of
Set-Off. Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest
and right of setoff as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now
existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral
and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or
control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a Bank
subsidiary) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice,
Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any
liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the
adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL
RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY
OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF
SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
12.4 Time of
Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all
Obligations in this Agreement.
12.5 Severability
of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from
every other provision in determining the enforceability of any
provision.
12.6 Correction
of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any
blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the
agreement of the parties.
12.7 Amendments
in Writing; Integration. All amendments to this Agreement must be
in writing signed by both Bank and Borrower. This Agreement and the Loan
Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter, and
supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the
parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge
into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
12.8 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,
are an original, and all taken together, constitute one
Agreement.
18
12.9 Borrower
Liability. Either Borrower may,
acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereby
appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including
with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder
shall be obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of
which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower
hereunder directly received all Credit
Extensions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other
related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have
at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower
to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) 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 Borrower with respect to the Obligations in
connection with this Agreement 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 Borrower with respect to the Obligations in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for
indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this
Section 12.9 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower
in contravention of this Section 12.9, 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.
Each
Borrower waives any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any
other applicable law. Each Borrower waives any right to require Bank to:
(a) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (b) proceed against
or exhaust any security; or (c) pursue any other remedy. Bank may exercise
or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security
it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale)
without affecting any Borrower’s liability.
12.10 Survival.
All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in
full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations
which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have
been satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify
Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim
or cause of action shall have run.
12.11 Confidentiality.
In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of
care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of
information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to
prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions
(provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this
provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order;
(d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s
examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies
under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so
long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with
Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.
Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is
in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes
part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank (but not through Bank’s
disclosure); or (ii) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not
know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the
information.
Bank may
use confidential information for any purpose, including, without limitation, for
the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, so
long as Bank does not disclose Borrower’s identity or the identity of any person
associated with Borrower unless otherwise expressly permitted by this
Agreement. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
