sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the "Revolving Loans".
During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Lender agrees to

with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that after giving effect to any
Borrower's request the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans would

Committed Amount").
2.1.2 Use of Proceeds of the Revolving Loans. The proceeds of each
Revolving Loan shall be used by the Borrowers for their own, ordinary course

In addition, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at

interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations, any Fees, and/or any

Loans may exceed the Total Revolving Credit Committed Amount or the Revolving
Credit Committed Amount of the Lender after giving effect to any such Revolving
Loans which the Lender elects to make under this Section 2.1.3.

and shall be in the principal amount of the Lender's Revolving Credit Committed
Amount. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, if the Revolving Loans
outstanding from time to time exceed the face amount of the Revolving Credit
Note, the excess shall bear interest at the Post-Default Rate and shall be
payable, with accrued interest, ON DEMAND. The Revolving Credit Note shall not
operate as a novation of any of the Obligations or nullify, discharge, or
release any such Obligations or the continuing contractual relationship of the
Borrowers and the Lender under the provisions of this Agreement.
2.1.5 Revolving Loan Account. The Lender will establish and maintain a
loan account on its books (the "Revolving Loan Account") to which the Lender

credits. The Borrowers shall pay to the order of the Lender, on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of all debit

the provisions of this Agreement. Absent manifest error, any and all periodic

and the information contained in those statements or reconciliations, shall be
presumed conclusively to be correct and shall constitute an account stated

sent by the Lender.

SECTION 2.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
SECTION 2.3 General Financing Provisions.
2.3.1 Requests for Advances, Etc. (a) Each of the Borrowers hereby
represents and warrants to the Lender that each such Borrower will derive
benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of each Loan, both
in its individual capacity and as a member of the integrated group to which the
Borrowers belong, because the successful operation of the integrated group
referred to in this Agreement as "the Borrowers" is dependent upon the
continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group as a
whole.
(b) The Borrowers, in the discretion of their respective
managements, are to agree among themselves as to the allocation of the benefits
of the proceeds of the Loans and the purposes for which such benefits and
proceeds will be used, provided that no allocation, purpose or use shall be in
violation of this Agreement. For administrative convenience, each Borrower is
hereby irrevocably appointed by each and every other Borrower as agent for each
and every other Borrower for the purpose of requesting Loans, receiving the
benefits of the proceeds of such Loans, and disbursing the proceeds of such
Loans among the Borrowers. By reason thereof, each Borrower is hereby
irrevocably appointed by each and every other Borrower with power and authority
through its duly authorized officer or officers (i) to endorse any check (if
any) for the proceeds of any Loan for and on behalf of each and every Borrower
and in the name of each and every Borrower, and (ii) to instruct the Lender to
credit the proceeds of any Loan directly to a banking account of one or more of
the Borrowers which shall evidence the making of such Loan and shall constitute
the acknowledgment by each and every Borrower of the receipt of the proceeds of
such Loan. The Lender may require from time to time such certificates, reports
and other items as the Lender may deem necessary to evidence the allocation of
the proceeds of the Loans among the Borrowers. In particular, the Lender may
require from time to time that any advances of the proceeds of the Loans by one
or more of the Borrowers be evidenced by one or more promissory notes or other
written instruments or agreements between one or more of the Borrowers to
evidence intercompany Receivables between one or more of the Borrowers. All
actions taken by each Borrower in connection with the Loans and the Financing
Documents shall be conclusively presumed to be the joint and several actions of
the Borrowers even though any one Borrower may act from time to time in its
name alone. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable
without the prior written consent of the Lender.
Without implying any limitation on the joint and several
nature of the Obligations, the Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers may create inter-company
indebtedness between and/or among the Borrowers with respect to the allocation
of the benefits and proceeds of the advances under this Agreement. The
Borrowers agree among themselves, and the Lender consents to that agreement,
that each and
12
14
every Borrower shall have rights of contribution from all of the other
Borrowers to the extent each such Borrower incurs Obligations in excess of the
proceeds of the Loans received by, or allocated to purposes for the direct
benefit of, each such Borrower. All such indebtedness and rights shall be, and
are hereby agreed by the Borrowers to be, subordinate in priority and payment
to the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, and, unless the Lender
agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in whole or in
part until all of the Obligations have been satisfied, provided, however, that
prior to the occurrence of a payment Default, the Borrowers shall be permitted
to make payments on account of any such inter-company indebtedness from time to
time in accordance with the terms thereof. Each and every Borrower hereby
waives all rights of counterclaim, recoupment and offset between or among
themselves arising on account of that indebtedness. Unless required by the
Laws of the United States or the country where such indebtedness is created,
each and every Borrower agrees not to evidence that indebtedness or rights by
note or other instrument, and shall not secure that indebtedness with any
mortgage, security agreement or otherwise.
(d) The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Borrowers to make Loans to the Borrowers, all pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one of the
Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers under
the provisions of the most recent certificate of corporate resolutions of the
Borrowers on file with the Lender or as otherwise designated in writing by the
Borrowers. Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Lender
assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or
discrepancies in the oral, telephonic, written or other transmissions of any
instructions, orders, requests and confirmations between the Lender and the
Borrowers in connection with any of the Credit Facilities, any Loan, or any
other transaction in connection with the provisions of this Agreement.

interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on any of the
Obligations resulting from a change in the Base Prime Rate shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the
Base Prime Rate is announced.
2.3.4 Payments. All payments of the Obligations, including, without
limitation, principal, interest and Fees, shall be paid by the Borrowers
without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim to the Lender at the Lender's office

Alternatively, at its sole discretion, the Lender may charge any deposit
account of the Borrowers at the Lender, with all or any part of any amount due
hereunder to the extent that the Borrowers have not otherwise tendered payment
to the Lender; and Lender agrees to give the Borrowers prompt subsequent notice
of any such actions. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this
Agreement, all payments shall be applied first to any accrued and unpaid Fees,
second to any and all accrued and unpaid late charges and Enforcement Costs,
third to any and all accrued and
13
15
unpaid interest on the Obligations, and then to principal, all in such order
and manner as shall be provided in Section 6.2.2.

hereby authorized by the Borrowers at any time and from time to time, without
notice to the Borrowers, to setoff, appropriate and apply any or all monies,
securities, and other property of the Borrowers and the proceeds thereof, now
or hereafter held or received by or in transit to, the Lender from or for the
Borrowers, and also upon any and all deposit accounts (general or special) and
credits of the Borrowers, if any, with the Lender at any time existing,
excluding any deposit accounts held by the Borrowers in their capacity as
trustee for Persons who are not Affiliates of the Borrowers or held by any of
the Borrowers on behalf of any retirement or benefit plan of any of the
Borrowers against all Obligations then outstanding, all in such order and
manner as shall be provided in Section 6.2.2.
2.3.6 Payments. (a) All payments of the Obligations, including,
without limitation, principal, interest and Fees, shall be paid by the
Borrowers without setoff or counterclaim to the Lender (except as otherwise
provided herein) at the Lender's office specified in Section 7.3 hereof in
immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, Washington, D.C. time on
the due date of such payment. All payments received by the Lender after such
time shall be deemed to have been received by the Lender, for purposes of
computing interest and Fees, as of the next Business Day. The Lender may send
the Borrowers statements of all amounts due hereunder for interest, principal
and Fees, etc., which statements shall be considered correct and conclusively
binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error unless the Borrowers notify the
Lender to the contrary within sixty (60) Business Days of the date sent by the
Lender.
(b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lender may
charge any deposit account of the Borrowers for the benefit of the Lender, with
all or any part of any amount due hereunder; the Lender agrees to give the
Borrowers prompt subsequent notice of any such charge.
2.3.7 Reserves. If (a) any change in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged
with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against Loans
made by the Lender, or (ii) impose on the Lender any other condition regarding
this Agreement or (b) the Lender shall have determined that compliance by the
Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any
central bank or Governmental Authority, and the result or effect of any event
referred to in clauses (a) or (b) above shall be to (x) reduce the rate of
return on the Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such
corporation would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the Lender's or such corporation's policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender in its
reasonable discretion to be material or (y) increase the cost to the Lender of
making the Loans, then, upon demand by the Lender, the Borrowers shall
immediately pay to the Lender, from time
14
16
to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts which shall be
sufficient to compensate the Lender for such reduction in rate of return or for
such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date
demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the then
current rate of interest on the Revolving Loans. A certificate as to such loss
or increased cost incurred by the Lender, submitted by the Lender to the
Borrowers, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof
unless the Borrowers notify the Lender to the contrary within sixty (60)
Business Days of the date sent by the Lender.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.1 General Representations and Warranties. Each of the

represent and warrant at the time of each request for a Loan under the terms of
this Agreement and again at the time of the making of any Loan, as follows:
3.1.1 Subsidiaries. The only Subsidiaries of such Borrower are as
indicated and described on the Disclosure List attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B"
and made a part hereof. Each of the Subsidiaries is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary
except as shown on the Disclosure List, which correctly indicates the nature
and amount of such Borrower's ownership interests therein.
3.1.2 Good Standing. Each of the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries are if organized in the United States of America, corporations,
each are duly organized and existing, in good standing (to the extent such term
is appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower or
Subsidiary is organized or doing business), under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation or formation, as the case may be, and each has the power
to own its property and to carry on its business as now being conducted and is
duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such term
is appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower or
Subsidiary is organized or doing business), in each jurisdiction in which the
character of the properties owned or leased by it therein or in which the
transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except for
those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not have a
materially adverse effect on the business of the applicable Borrower or
Subsidiary.
3.1.3 Authority. Each of the Borrowers has full power and authority to
enter into this Agreement, to make the borrowings hereunder, to execute and
deliver the Note and the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, and
to incur the Obligations and perform the other obligations provided for herein,
in the Note, and in the other Financing Documents to which they are parties,
all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action. No
consent or approval of any shareholders of, or the Lender to, any Borrower and
no consent, approval, filing or registration with or notice to any Governmental
Authority on the part of any Borrower is required as a condition to the
validity of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other
15
17
current Financing Documents or the performance by each Borrower of its
obligations hereunder or thereunder.
3.1.4 Binding Agreements. This Agreement constitutes, and the Note and
each of the other Financing Documents, when issued and delivered pursuant
hereto, will constitute, the valid and legally binding obligations of each of
the Borrowers enforceable against each of the Borrowers in accordance with
their respective terms.
3.1.5 Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed to the Lender on
EXHIBIT "C" attached hereto and made a part hereof, there are no proceedings or
investigations pending or, so far as is actually known by the officers of each
of the Borrowers, threatened in writing before any court or arbitrator or
before or by any Governmental Authority which, in any one case or in the
aggregate, if determined adversely to the interests of such Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations, present or
prospective, of such Borrower or such Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.
3.1.6 No Conflicts. There is no statute, regulation, rule, order or
judgment, no charter, by-law or preference stock provision of any Borrower, and
no provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement binding on
any Borrower or affecting its properties, which would prohibit, or cause a
default under or in any way prevent the execution, delivery, or carrying out of
the terms of this Agreement or of the Note or of the other Financing Documents
to which such Borrower is a party.
3.1.7 Financial Position. The audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries dated February 29, 1996
heretofore delivered to the Lender, are complete and correct and fairly present
the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the
consolidated results of their operations and changes in the consolidated
stockholders' equity as of such dates and for the period referred to and have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout
the period involved. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, as of May 31, 1996, together with statements of profit
and loss and of stockholders' equity for the period then ended heretofore
delivered to the Lender, represent a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated
results of their operations and changes in the consolidated stockholders'
equity as of such dates and for the period referred to and have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the period
involved. There are no liabilities (of the type required to be reflected on
balance sheets prepared in accordance with GAAP), direct or indirect, fixed or
contingent, of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the
dates of such statements which are not reflected therein or in the notes
thereto. There has been no material adverse change in the financial condition
or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, since the
date of such balance sheet (and to the Company's actual knowledge after
reasonable inquiry, no such material adverse change is likely to occur), and
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has guaranteed the obligations
of, or made any investment in or loans to, any Person (other than a Subsidiary)
except as disclosed
16
18
in such balance sheet, the endorsement of Instruments in the ordinary course of
its business and Manugistics Inc.'s guaranty of Manugistics (Deutschland)
GmbH's overdraft facility.
3.1.8 No Default. Neither any of the Borrowers nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries is in default beyond any applicable grace period under
or with respect to any obligation under any agreement to which such Borrower or
any of their Subsidiaries is a party in any respect which could be materially
adverse to the business, operations, property or financial condition of such
Borrower, or which could materially adversely affect the ability of such
Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Note, or the
other Financing Documents, to which such Borrower is a party. No Default has
occurred and is continuing.
3.1.9 Title to Properties. The Borrowers have good and marketable
title to their properties and assets, and the properties and assets reflected
in the balance sheets described in Section 3.1.7 above. Such properties and
assets are subject to no Lien of any kind, except for Permitted Liens, and the
Borrowers have legal, enforceable and uncontested rights to use freely such
property and assets. Any and all obligations to pay royalties or other charges
with respect to such properties and assets are properly reflected on the
financial statements described in Section 3.1.7 above.
3.1.10 Taxes. Except for sales and use taxes which are in dispute in
various jurisdictions and which will not have a material adverse effect on the
operation of any of the Borrowers, each of the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries have each filed, or have obtained effective extensions for the
filing of, all Federal, state and other tax returns which are required to be
filed, and have paid all Taxes shown as due on said returns and all
assessments, fees and other amounts due, except to the extent that such Taxes
are being contested in good faith and in an appropriate manner. All Tax
liabilities of each of the Borrowers were as of the date of the balance sheets
referred to in Section 3.1.7 above, and are now, adequately provided for on the
books of the Borrowers. Except for sales and use taxes which are in dispute in
various jurisdictions and which will not have a material adverse effect on the
operation of any of the Borrowers, no Tax liability has been asserted by the
Internal Revenue Service or any state or local Governmental Authority against
the Borrowers for Taxes in excess of those already paid.
3.1.11 Regulations U and X and Use of Loans. Neither any of the
Borrowers nor any of their respective Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or
as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part
of the proceeds of the Loans will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock
or to extend credit to others for such purpose if as a result there would be a
violation of Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or any other comparable or similar Law of any other
Governmental Authority.
3.1.12 Investment Company Act. Neither any of the Borrowers nor any of
their respective Subsidiaries is an investment company within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, nor are they, directly or
indirectly, controlled by or acting on behalf of any Person which is an
investment company within the meaning of said Act.
17

maintained by any Borrower or any Subsidiary.

their respective Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable Laws of any
Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any Laws relating to
employment practices or to environmental, occupational and health standards and
controls) or order of any court or arbitrator, the violation of which,
considered in the aggregate, could materially adversely affect the business,
operations or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
3.1.15 Patents, Trademarks, Etc. Each of the Borrowers and their
respective Subsidiaries own, possess, or have the right to use all necessary
patents, patent rights, licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names,
trade name rights, copyrights, customer lists, service marks, and franchises to
conduct their business as now conducted, without known conflict with any
patent, patent right, license, trademark, trademark right, trade name, trade
name right, copyright, service xxxx or franchise right of any other Person.
3.1.16 Full Disclosure. Neither the financial statements referred to
in Section 3.1.7 nor any of the Financing Documents, nor any certificate or
statement furnished in writing by the Borrowers in connection with the
Financing Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, when
such financial statements, Financing Documents, statements, reports and
certificates are taken in their entirety, omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading as
of the date hereof. There is no fact actually known to the officers of any of
the Borrowers which has not been disclosed to the Lender in writing prior to
the date of this Agreement with respect to the transactions contemplated by the
Financing Documents which materially and adversely affects or in the future
could, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrowers, materially adversely affect
the condition, financial or otherwise, results of operations, business, or
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. In addition,
the Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all forms, reports and documents

("SEC") required to be filed by it pursuant to the federal securities laws and
the SEC rules and regulations thereunder, all of which complied in all material
respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
0000 (xxx "Xxxxxxxx Xxx"). None of the SEC Reports which are subject to
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, any financial
statements or schedules included therein, at the time filed contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
3.1.17 Subordinated Indebtedness. Except for the Loans, the
Indebtedness described in Section 5.2.3, or as otherwise disclosed to the
Lender in writing on EXHIBIT "E" attached hereto and made a part hereof and as
otherwise expressly permitted by the Lender in writing, any and all
18
20
Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of each of the Borrowers has been fully and
completely subordinated to the payment and performance of the Obligations by
written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, provided,
however, that prior to the occurrence of any Default, the Borrowers may make
payments on such Indebtedness from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof. The Lender has received photocopies of all promissory notes
evidencing such Subordinated Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, together with any
and all other agreements, documents, or instruments securing, evidencing,
guarantying or otherwise executed and delivered in connection therewith. The
Borrowers have furnished photocopies of any and all subordination agreements
pertaining to the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Lender on or before the

located in the United States, owned, leased, operated or otherwise controlled
by any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or for which any such
Borrower or any Subsidiary is responsible. To the best of each Borrower's
knowledge and belief during the period of their occupancy, no property owned,
leased, operated or otherwise controlled by such Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries has ever been used as a manufacturing, storage (other than storage

the ordinary course (including, without limitation, Laws relating to

the Obligations, provided, however, notwithstanding anything set forth in this
Agreement to the contrary, prior to the occurrence of a Default, the Borrowers
shall be permitted to make payments
26
28
on account of any of the Subordinated Liabilities from time to time in
accordance with the terms thereof. The definition of Subordinated Liabilities
shall not include the payment of indebtedness, liabilities and obligations by

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default and without

Liabilities are unsecured and each of the Borrowers agrees not to receive or
accept any collateral or security for the Subordinated Liabilities without the
prior written permission of the Lender. Without the prior written consent of
the Lender, none of the Borrowers shall assign, transfer, hypothecate or
dispose of the Subordinated Liabilities while this Agreement is in effect,
except by means of assignment to another Borrower, cancellation or forgiveness.
In the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete,
voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part
of the assets of any or all of the Borrowers or the proceeds thereof to
creditors of any or all of the Borrowers or to any indebtedness, liabilities
and obligations of any or all of the Borrowers, by reason of the liquidation,
dissolution or other winding up of any or all of the Borrowers or the business
of the Borrowers, or in the event of any sale, receivership, insolvency or
bankruptcy proceeding, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any
proceeding by or against any or all of the Borrowers for any relief under the
Bankruptcy Code or insolvency law or other laws relating to the relief of
debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or
extensions, then and in any such event any payment or distribution of any kind
or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be
payable or deliverable upon or with respect to all or any part of the
Subordinated Liabilities shall be paid or delivered directly to the Lender for
application to the Obligations (whether due or not due and in such order and
manner as provided in Section 6.2.2) until the Obligations shall have been
fully paid and satisfied. Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes
and empowers the Lender upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment or
distribution and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and take such
other proceedings in the Lender's own name or in the name of the Borrowers or
otherwise, for the benefit of itself and the Lender, as the Lender may deem
necessary or advisable to carry out the provisions of this Section. Each of the
Borrowers hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Lender, such powers of
attorney, assignments, endorsements or other instruments as may be required by
the Lender for the benefit of itself and the Lender to enforce any and all
claims upon or with respect to the Subordinated Liabilities, and to collect and
receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or
deliverable at any time upon or with respect to the Subordinated Liabilities.
Should any payment or distribution not permitted by the provisions of
this Section or security or proceeds thereof be received by any of the
Borrowers upon or with respect to all or any part of the Subordinated
Liabilities prior to the full payment and satisfaction of the
27
29
Obligations, such Borrower will deliver the same to the Lender in precisely the
form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of any or all of the
Borrowers where necessary), for application to the Obligations (whether due or
not due and in such order and manner as provided in Section 6.2.2), and, until
so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Borrower as property of
the Lender. In the event of the failure of the Borrowers to make any such
endorsement or assignment, the Lender, or any of its officers or employees on
behalf of the Lender, is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same.
So as to secure the performance by the Borrowers of the provisions of
this Section and the payment of the Obligations, each of the Borrowers assigns,
pledges, and grants to the Lender, a security interest in the Subordinated
Liabilities, all proceeds thereof and all and any security and collateral
therefor, provided, however, that the Lender shall not exercise any rights
under the security interest granted pursuant to this Section prior to the
occurrence of a Default. Upon the request of the Lender, after the occurrence
of a Default, the Borrowers (or any of them) shall endorse, assign and deliver
to the Lender in a manner acceptable to the Lender all such collateral and
security and all notes, instruments and agreements evidencing, securing,
guarantying or made in connection with the Subordinated Liabilities. In the

or delivery, the Lender, or any of its officers or employees on behalf of the
Lender, is hereby irrevocable authorized to make the same.

obligation to) at any time thereafter and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the
expense of the Borrowers, and may enter upon the premises of any of the
Borrowers for that purpose and take all such action thereon as the Lender may
consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose. The Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally appoint the Lender or the Lender's designee as their
attorney-in-fact for the purposes of effecting, during the continuance of a
Default, any or all of the provisions of this subsection, in the Lender's name
or in the name of the Borrowers, such appointment being coupled with an
interest and being irrevocable. All acts of said attorney are hereby ratified
and approved and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of
omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake, except those
caused by his own gross negligence or willful misconduct. All sums so paid or
advanced by the Lender and all costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith are part of the Enforcement Costs, together with interest thereon
from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in full at the
Post-Default Rate, shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Lender on demand and
shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations.
6.2.4 Offset. Upon the occurrence of a Default (and in addition to all
of its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement), the Lender is
authorized to offset and apply to all or any part of the Obligations all
moneys, credits and other property of any nature whatsoever of the Borrowers
now or at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under
the control or custody of, or on deposit with, the Lender.
ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 7.1 Course of Dealing; Amendment. No course of dealing between
the Borrowers and the Lender shall be effective to amend, modify or change any
provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents. The Lender shall
have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Financing Documents in strict accordance with the terms hereof and
thereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of the Lender in
refraining from so doing at any time or times. The failure or delay of the
Lender at any time or times to enforce the rights under such provisions,
strictly in accordance with the same, shall not be construed as having created
a custom in any way or manner contrary to specific provisions of this Agreement
or as having in any way or manner modified or waived the same. Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.10, this Agreement and the other Financing Documents
may not be amended, modified, or changed in any respect except by an agreement
in writing signed by the Lender and the Borrowers.
SECTION 7.2 Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. The Lender may, at any time
and from time to time, execute and deliver to the Borrowers a written
instrument waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Lender may specify in
such written instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or of the
other Financing Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its
35
37
consequences, provided, that any such waiver shall be for such period and
subject to such conditions as shall be specified in any such instrument. In the
case of any such waiver, the Borrowers, the Lender shall be restored to their
former positions prior to such Default or Event of Default and shall have the
same rights as they had hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent
thereto and shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given. The rights, powers and remedies provided in
this Agreement, the Note, and in the other Financing Documents are cumulative,
may be exercised concurrently or separately, may be exercised from time to time
and in such order as the Lender shall determine, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers
and remedies provided by applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Lender shall:
(a) proceed against any of the Borrowers with or without
proceeding against any other Person which may be liable for all or any part of
the Obligations;
(b) proceed against any of the Borrowers with or without
proceeding under any of the other Financing Documents;
(c) without reducing or impairing the obligation of any of the
Borrowers and without notice, release or compromise with any guarantor or other
Person liable for all or any part of the Obligations under the Financing
Documents or otherwise; or
(d) without reducing or impairing the obligations of any of
the Borrowers and without notice thereof: (i) approve the making of Revolving
Loans under this Agreement, (ii) waive any provision of this Agreement or the
other Financing Documents, (iii) exercise or fail to exercise rights of set-off
or other rights, or (iv) accept partial payments or extend from time to time
the maturity of all or any part of the Obligations.
SECTION 7.3 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given or made when
delivered by hand, or three (3) Business Days after the date when deposited in
the mail, postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or when sent by overnight courier, on the Business Day next
following the day on which the notice is delivered to such overnight courier,

further agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses, (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Lender, in connection with all the
waivers, consents and amendments of this Agreement and the other Financing
Documents requested by the Borrowers. All of the advances, expenditures, costs
and expenses described in this subsection shall bear interest payable on demand
by the Borrowers from the date paid or incurred until paid in full at the
Post-Default Rate.
SECTION 7.5 Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the Borrowers
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting
in the State of Maryland over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Financing Documents.
Each of the Borrowers irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue
of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim
that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon each
of the Borrowers and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which
any of the Borrowers are subject, by a suit upon such judgment, provided that
service of process is effected upon each of the Borrowers in one of the manners
specified in this Section or as otherwise permitted by applicable Laws.
(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, c/o Manugistics, Inc., 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, as such Borrower's authorized agent to receive on
such Borrower's behalf service of any and all process that may be served in any
suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Section in
37
39
any state or federal court sitting in the State of Maryland. If such an agent
shall cease so to act, each of the Borrowers shall irrevocably designate and
appoint without delay another such agent in the State of Maryland satisfactory
to the agent and shall promptly deliver to the agent evidence in writing of
such other agent's acceptance of such appointment and its agreement that such
appointment shall be irrevocable.
Each of the Borrowers hereby consents to process being served
in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Section by
(i) the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, to such Borrower at such Borrower's address
designated in or pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, and (ii) serving a copy
thereof upon the agent designated and appointed by such Borrower as such
Borrower's agent for service of process by or pursuant to this Section. Each of
the Borrowers irrevocably agrees that such service (i) shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon such Borrower in any such suit,
action or proceeding, and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
be taken and held to be valid personal service upon such Borrower. Nothing in
this Section shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any
manner otherwise permitted by law or limit the right of the Lender otherwise to
bring proceedings against the Borrowers in the courts of any jurisdiction or
jurisdictions.
SECTION 7.6 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, AND THE
LENDER HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE BORROWERS AND THE LENDER MAY BE PARTIES, ARISING OUT OF
OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO (A) THIS AGREEMENT, OR (B) ANY OF THE FINANCING
DOCUMENTS. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS
AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST
PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT.
THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY EACH OF
THE BORROWERS, THE LENDER AND EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND THE LENDER HEREBY
REPRESENT THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY
INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR
NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND THE LENDER FURTHER REPRESENT THAT
THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING
OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL,
AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.
SECTION 7.7 Costs and Expenses. Each of the Borrowers agrees:
(a) To pay upon demand therefor, all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Lender in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and all
amendments, modifications, restatements, substitutions, extensions
38
40
and renewals thereof, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses
of counsel for the Lender (supported by detailed invoices indicating all time
and expense entries);
(b) To pay upon demand any and all stamp and other taxes and
fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Note, the other Financing Documents; and
(c) To save the Lender harmless from and against any and all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission
to pay any taxes or fees referred to in this Section, provided that such delay
is not the direct result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the
Lender.
All costs, expenses, taxes and fees described in this Section shall be part of
the Enforcement Costs and shall bear interest, payable by the Borrowers on
demand, from the date due until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate.
SECTION 7.8 Severability. In case one or more provisions contained in
this Agreement or in the other Financing Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the other
Financing Documents shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto
and shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 7.9 Assignment, Etc. The Lender may, without notice to, or
consent of, the Borrowers, sell, assign or transfer all or any part of the
Obligations, and each such Person or Persons to which the obligations are
transferred shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement,
the Note and any of the other Financing Documents as fully as the Lender,
provided that the Lender shall continue to have the unimpaired right to enforce
the provisions of this Agreement, the Note and any of the other Financing
Documents as to so much of the Obligations that the Lender has not sold,
assigned or transferred and to the extent such Lender would be entitled to do
so under the provisions of this Agreement. The Lender may, without notice to or
consent of the Borrowers, sell participation in all or any part of the
Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.18 hereof, in connection
with the foregoing, the Lender shall have the right to divulge to any such
actual or potential purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant all
information, reports, financial statements and documents obtained in connection
with this Agreement, the Note and any of the other Financing Documents or
otherwise.
SECTION 7.10 Survival. All representations, warranties and covenants
contained among the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Note and all other Financing Documents,
until this Agreement, as amended, may be terminated.
SECTION 7.11 Binding Effect. This Agreement, the Note and all other
Financing Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrowers, the Lender and its successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers
shall not have the right to assign its or their rights hereunder or any
interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender.
39
41
SECTION 7.12 Applicable Law. As a material inducement to the Lender to
enter into this Agreement, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the
Financing Documents, including this Agreement, shall be governed by the Laws of
the State of Maryland, as if each of the Financing Documents and this Agreement
had each been executed, delivered, administered and performed solely within the
State of Maryland, even though for the convenience and at the request of the
Borrowers, one or more of the Financing Documents may be executed elsewhere and
even though day-to-day administration of the Loans may be conducted by one of
the Lender's offices not in the State of Maryland. The Lender acknowledges,
however, that remedies under certain of the Financing Documents which relate to
property outside the State of Maryland may be subject to the laws of the State
in which the property is located.
SECTION 7.13 Duplicate Originals and Counter Parts. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each of such
duplicate originals or counterparts shall be deemed to be an original and all
taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 7.14 Exhibits and Schedules. Any exhibits and schedules
attached to this Agreement are an integral part hereof and are hereby
incorporated herein and included in the term "this Agreement".
SECTION 7.15 Headings. Article, Section and subsection headings in
this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only, shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be
deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 7.16 No Agents. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to
constitute any of the Borrowers as the agent of the Lender for any purpose
whatsoever or to permit any of the Borrowers to pledge any of the Lender's
credit. The Lender shall not, by anything herein or in any of the Financing
Documents or otherwise, assume any of the Borrowers' obligations under any
contract or agreement assigned to the Lender, and the Lender shall not be
responsible in any way for the performance by the Borrowers of any of the terms
and conditions thereof.
SECTION 7.17 Right of Contribution. The Borrowers and the Lender agree
that on and after the Closing Date, each Borrower (an "Entitled Borrower")
shall be entitled to contribution from each other Borrower to the extent, if
any, that (a) an Entitled Borrower incurs any Obligations in excess of such
Entitled Borrowers Net Valuation (as hereinafter defined) or (b) the
Obligations incurred by such Entitled Borrower would leave such Entitled
Borrower with an unreasonably small amount of capital to enable the Entitled
Borrower to operate the business in which it is engaged, and/or the Obligations
incurred by such Entitled Borrower prevent such Entitled Borrower from paying
its debts as such debts mature; provided, however, that such right of
contribution shall be subordinated to the payment of the Obligations and may
not be exercised by any Borrower until all of the Obligations have been paid in
full. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to in any manner impair the joint
and several liability of each Borrower for any and all of the Obligations. The
provisions of this Section shall be in addition to and shall in no
40
42
manner limit any other rights of contribution available to any Borrower. The
term "Net Valuation" as used in this Section means the amount by which (1) an
Entitled Borrower's property at a fair valuation exceeds (2) such Entitled
Borrower's debts.
SECTION 7.18 Confidential Information. The Lender will endeavor
in good faith to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information
relating to the Borrowers (the "Confidential Information") and, except as
provided below, will exercise the same degree of care that the Lender exercises
with respect to their own proprietary information to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure of the confidential information to third parties. Confidential
information shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public
domain or in the knowledge or possession of the Lender when disclosed to the
Lender, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to the Lender
through no fault of the Lender; or (b) is disclosed to the Lender by a third
party, provided the Lender does not have actual knowledge that such third party
is prohibited from disclosing such information. The terms of this Section
shall not apply to disclosure of Confidential Information by the Lender that
is, in the good faith opinion of the Lenders, compelled by laws regulations,
rules, order or legal process or proceedings or is disclosed to: (i) a
prospective assignee of the Lender's interest hereunder (as permitted by
Section 7.9 hereof) who has signed a confidentiality agreement containing terms
substantially similar to those contained herein; (ii) legal counsel, examiners,
accountants, auditors and directors of the Lender and examiners, auditors and
investigators having regulatory authority over the Lender; or (iii) any party
in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Lender after default in the
performance of the Borrowers' obligations to the Lender.
