LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE ii
This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated the Effective Date, between
SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Bank"), a California-chartered bank with its principal
place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and with a
loan production office located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000, with a telefacsimile number of (000) 000-0000 and LOUDEYE CORP.
("Borrower"), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000,
with a telefacsimile number of (000) 000-0000 provides the terms on which Bank
will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as
follows:
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERM
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed
following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The
term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms
"including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without
limitation," in this or any Loan Document.
2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 PROMISE TO PAY.
Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.
2.1.1 TERM LOAN.
(a) Term Loan. Bank will make a Term Loan available to Borrower;
provided that such Term Loan shall be funded no later than December 31, 2003.
Borrower may use the proceeds of the Term Loan for general working capital
purposes and to finance equipment purchases.
(b) Interest Rate. The Term Loan accrues interest on the
outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate of 1.25 percentage point(s)
above the Prime Rate; provided that the interest rate shall not be less than
5.25 percent per annum. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest
at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default.
The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest
is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(c) Payments. On January 1, 2004, Borrower will pay Bank an amount
equal to all accrued interest on the Term Loan. Commencing on February 1, 2004,
Borrower will pay 36 equal monthly installments of principal of $83,333.33 plus
accrued interest (the "Term Loan Payment"). Each Term Loan Payment is payable on
the 1st of each month during the term of the loan. Borrower's final Term Loan
Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, includes all outstanding Term Loan
principal and accrued interest. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit
accounts including Account Number 3300398140 for Term Loan Payments or any
amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits
Borrower's accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after
12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on
the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 1
that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and
additional fees or interest accrue.
(d) Prepayment. Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the
Term Loan prior to the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date unless
concurrently with such prepayment Borrower pays Bank an amount equal to 2
percent of the prepaid portion of the Term Loan. Borrower shall provide 3
Business Days' written notice to Bank prior to any such prepayment. All
prepayments shall be applied first to accrued interest on the Term Loan and then
to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan in the inverse order of
maturity.
2.1.2 GUIDANCE LINE FACILITY
Through December 29, 2004, (the "Guidance Line Maturity Date"),
Borrower may use up to $500,000 (the "Guidance Line Facility") for the support
of existing or the issuance of new standby letters of credit (the "Letters of
Credit") and for Bank's cash management services, which may include merchant
services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing
services identified in various cash management services agreements related to
such services (the "Cash Management Services"). Each Letter of Credit will have
an expiry date of no later than 270 days after the Guidance Line Maturity Date,
but Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms
acceptable to Bank at any time after the Guidance Line Maturity Date. Any other
Obligations outstanding under the Guidance Line Facility will be immediately due
and payable on the Guidance Line Maturity Date. Borrower agrees to execute any
further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit and Cash
Management Services as Bank may reasonably request.
2.2 FEES.
Borrower will pay:
(a) Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of
$3,750 for the Guidance Line Facility due on the Closing Date; and
(b) Letter of Credit Fee: On the issuance of each Letter of
Credit, a fully earned, non-refundable issuance fee in an amount equal to (i)
1.25 percent per annum of the face amount of the Letter of Credit plus (ii)
Bank's customary fees and handling charges; and
(c) Cash Management Services Fees: Bank's customary fees related
to Cash Management Services; and
(d) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the date of
this Agreement, are payable when due.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 2
3 CONDITIONS OF LOANS
3.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL CREDIT EXTENSION.
Bank's obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to
the condition precedent that it receive the agreements, documents and fees it
requires.
3.2 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL CREDIT EXTENSIONS.
Bank's obligations to make each Credit Extension, including the initial
Credit Extension, is subject to the following: the representations and
warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the effective date of each
Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or
result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension is Borrower's
representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties
in Section 5 remain true.
4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently
existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance
of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted
Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the
Collateral. Bank may place a "hold" on any certificate of deposit pledged as
Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest
in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.
Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to
Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in
order to further perfect or protect Bank's interest in the Collateral.
5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION.
Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in valid existence
and/or good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do
business in, and in valid existence and/or good standing in, any state in which
the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be
qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Change. Borrower has not changed its state of formation
or its organizational structure or type or any organizational number (if any)
assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents, nor
constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is
bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is
bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 3
5.2 COLLATERAL.
Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except
Permitted Liens. Borrower has no other deposit accounts, other than the deposit
accounts described in the Schedule. The Accounts are bona fide, existing
obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the
account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional
acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the possession of any
third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after
the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a
bailee, then Borrower will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such
bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral
for the benefit of Bank. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and
marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of
the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its
customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and
enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of
the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party, except to the
extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change.
5.3 LITIGATION.
Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers, threatened by
or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.4 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary,
delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower's
consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results of
operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower's
consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial
statements submitted to Bank.
5.5 SOLVENCY.
The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is
not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this
Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they
mature.
5.6 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged
as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under
Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has
complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which
could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of
Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 4
assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or
transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each
Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate
provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith
with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all
consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings
with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to
continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.7 SUBSIDIARIES.
Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity
securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 FULL DISCLOSURE.
No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in
any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such
written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it
being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower
in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and
that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and
forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results).

Borrower will do all of the following for so long as Bank has an
obligation to lend, or there are outstanding Obligations:
6.1 GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE.
Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries' legal existence and
good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in
each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be
expected to cause a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or
operations. Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all
laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with
which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations
or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

additional loss payee and all liability policies will show the Bank as an
additional insured and provide that the insurer must give Bank at least 20 days

provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to
cure such default within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof; provided,
however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10)
day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such
ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable
time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not

Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against
any of Borrower's assets by any government agency and not paid within 10 days

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;
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 11
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will
assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank
designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security
interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter
and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights
or remedies;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or
the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a
non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name,
trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter,
or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit;
and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY.
Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower
irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower's name
on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower's name
on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account
debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance
policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly
with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and
(v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code
permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower's name on any
documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security
interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's
appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers,
coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully
repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions
terminates.
9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any
Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify
the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank
and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form
received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 12
9.4 BANK EXPENSES.
If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of
payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain
insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the
policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and
immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and
secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make
similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is
not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to
the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any
act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower
bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents,
and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or
remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a
continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No
waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the
specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND WAIVER.
Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of
payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is
liable.

limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
