SECTION 7.11. ARBITRATION.
(a) ARBITRATION. Upon the demand of any party, any Dispute shall be
resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth in (e) below) in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. A "Dispute" shall mean any action, dispute,
claim or controversy of any kind, whether in contract or tort, statutory or
common law, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising under or in
connection with, or in any way pertaining to, any of the Loan Documents, or any
past, present or future extensions of credit and other activities, transactions
or obligations of any kind related directly or indirectly to any of the Loan
Documents, including without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in
connection with the exercise of any self-help, ancillary or other remedies
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Any party may by summary proceedings
bring an action in court to compel arbitration of a Dispute. Any party who
fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a lawful demand by any other
party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in
compelling arbitration of any Dispute.
(b) GOVERNING RULES. Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or such other administrator as the
parties shall mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA Commercial
Arbitration Rules. All Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code),
notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the Loan
Documents. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location in Oregon selected
by the AAA or other administrator. If there is any inconsistency between the
terms hereof and any
-13-
such rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. All
statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration
proceeding. All discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters
directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon any award
rendered in an arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction;
provided however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver
by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C.
Section 91 or any similar applicable state law.
(c) NO WAIVER; PROVISIONAL REMEDIES, SELF-HELP AND FORECLOSURE. No
provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to exercise self-help
remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal
property collateral or security, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies,
including without limitation injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment,
garnishment or the appointment of a receiver, from a court of competent
jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other
proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy shall not waive the right of any
party to compel arbitration hereunder.
(d) ARBITRATOR QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS; AWARDS. Arbitrators must be
active members of the Oregon State Bar or retired judges of the state or federal
judiciary of Oregon, with expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the
subject matter of the Dispute. Arbitrators are empowered to resolve Disputes by
summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the final arbitration
hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes in accordance with the
substantive law of the state of Oregon, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that
a court of the state of Oregon could order or grant within the scope hereof and
such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award, and (iii)
shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose
sanctions and to take such other actions as they deem necessary to the same
extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the
Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Any Dispute in which
the amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single
arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000 (including
damages, costs, fees and expenses). By submission to a single arbitrator, each
party expressly waives any right or claim to recover more than $5,000,000. Any
Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 shall be decided
by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all
three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.
-14-
(e) JUDICIAL REVIEW. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the
arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and
conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the
power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which
is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties
unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the
conclusions of law are not erroneous under the substantive law of the state of
Oregon, and (iii) the parties shall have in addition to the grounds referred to
in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award
the right to judicial review of (A) whether the findings of fact rendered by the
arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (B) whether the
conclusions of law are erroneous under the substantive law of the state of
Oregon. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only
if a court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not
based on legal error under the substantive law of the state of Oregon.
(f) MISCELLANEOUS. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the
arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any
arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the
AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the
existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by
a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or
regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights
set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the
parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most
directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the Dispute
shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment
or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the
parties.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
$10,000,000.00 Portland, Oregon
September 30, 1996
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned IN FOCUS SYSTEMS, INC. ("Borrower")
promises to pay to the order of XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank")
at its office at 0000 X.X. Fifth Ave., 19th Flr., Portland, Oregon, or at such
other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United
States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be
outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date
of its disbursement as set forth herein.
DEFINITIONS:
As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after
each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth
at the place defined:
(a) "Business Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other
day on which commercial banks in Oregon are authorized or required by law to
close.
(b) "Fixed Rate Term" means a period commencing on a Business Day and
continuing for one (1), two (2) or three (3) months, as designated by Borrower,
during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note
bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that no Fixed
Rate Term may be selected for a principal amount less than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000.00); and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall
extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would
end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) "LIBOR" means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following formula:
LIBOR = Base LIBOR
-------------------------------
100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
(i) "Base LIBOR" means the rate per annum for United States dollar
deposits quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the
understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating
effective rates of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day
of a Fixed Rate Term
for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to
the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal
to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies. Borrower
understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market
Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank
Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited
to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.
(ii) "LIBOR Reserve Percentage" means the reserve percentage prescribed by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
"Eurocurrency Liabilities" (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve
Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve
percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.
(d) "Prime Rate" means at any time the rate of interest most recently
announced within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the
understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank's base rates and serves as the
basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans
making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its
announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.
(e) "SAF Rate" means such rate as may be quoted by Bank to Borrower on the
date of each advance bearing interest in relation to such rate.
(f) "SAF Interest Period" means a period commencing on a Business Day,
selected by Borrower, and terminating on the next Business Day.
INTEREST:
(a) INTEREST. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either
(i) at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time
to time; (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be sixty-five one-
hundredths percent (0.65%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of the
applicable Fixed Rate Term; or (iii) at the SAF Rate quoted by Bank to Borrower
on the first day of the applicable SAF Interest Period. When interest is
determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each change in the rate of interest
hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced
within Bank. With respect to each LIBOR or SAF selection hereunder, Bank is
hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate and Fixed
Rate Term or SAF Interest Period applicable thereto and any payments made
thereon on Bank's books
-2-
and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule
attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information noted.
(b) SELECTION OF INTEREST RATE OPTIONS. At any time any portion of this
Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR or SAF Rate, it may be
continued by Borrower at the end the Fixed Rate Term or SAF Interest Period
applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in
relation to the SAF Rate, Prime Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term
designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest
determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion
thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed
Rate Term, or to the SAF Rate, as designated by Borrower. At such time as
Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR or SAF Rate
option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at
the end of each Fixed Rate Term and SAF Interest Period, Borrower shall give
Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower;
(ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection,
the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by
telephone so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (A) Bank receives
written confirmation from Borrower not later than three (3) Business Days after
such telephone notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to
10:00 a.m., California time, on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term. For each
LIBOR or SAF Rate option requested hereunder, Bank will quote the applicable
rate to Borrower at approximately 10:00 a.m., California time, on the first day
of the Fixed Rate Term or SAF Interest Period. If Borrower does not immediately
accept the rate quoted by Bank, any subsequent acceptance by Borrower shall be
subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable rate; provided however,
that if Borrower fails to accept any such rate by 11:00 a.m., California time,
on the Business Day such quotation is given, then the quoted rate shall expire
and Bank shall have no obligation to permit a LIBOR or SAF Rate, as applicable,
option to be selected on such day. If no specific designation of interest is
made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed
Rate Termor SAF Interest Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Prime
Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such
Fixed Rate Term or SAF Interest Period applied.
(c) ADDITIONAL LIBOR PROVISIONS.
(i) If Bank at any time shall determine that for any reason adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Bank shall promptly
give notice thereof to Borrower. If such notice is given and until such notice
has been withdrawn by Bank, then (A) no new LIBOR option may be selected by
-3-
Borrower, and (B) any portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof which
bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, subsequent to the end of the
Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto, shall bear interest determined in relation
to the Prime Rate.
(ii) If any law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination of a court or
governmental authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof (each, a "Change in Law") shall make it unlawful for Bank
(A) to make LIBOR options available hereunder, or (B) to maintain interest rates
based on LIBOR, then in the former event, any obligation of Bank to make
available such unlawful LIBOR options shall immediately be cancelled, and in the
latter event, any such unlawful LIBOR-based interest rates then outstanding
shall be converted, at Bank's option, so that interest on the portion of the
outstanding principal balance subject thereto is determined in relation to the
Prime Rate; provided however, that if any such Change in Law shall permit any
LIBOR-based interest rates to remain in effect until the expiration of the Fixed
Rate Term applicable thereto, then such permitted LIBOR-based interest rates
shall continue in effect until the expiration of such Fixed Rate Term. Upon the
occurrence of any of the foregoing events, Borrower shall pay to Bank
immediately upon demand such amounts as may be necessary to compensate Bank for
any fines, fees, charges, penalties or other costs incurred or payable by Bank
as a result thereof and which are attributable to any LIBOR options made
available to Borrower hereunder, and any reasonable allocation made by Bank
among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.
(iii) If any Change in Law or compliance by Bank with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or
other governmental authority shall:
(A) subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any
LIBOR options, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of
principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder
(except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
Bank); or
(B) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or
loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Bank; or
(C) impose on Bank any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of
making, renewing or maintaining any LIBOR options
-4-
hereunder and/or to reduce any amount receivable by Bank in connection
therewith, then in any such case, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon
demand such amounts as may be necessary to compensate Bank for any additional
costs incurred by Bank and/or reductions in amounts received by Bank which are
attributable to such LIBOR options. In determining which costs incurred by Bank
and/or reductions in amounts received by Bank are attributable to any LIBOR
options made available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by
Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.
(d) PAYMENT OF INTEREST. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable
on the last day of each month, commencing October 31, 1996.
(e) DEFAULT INTEREST. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or
such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by
acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above
the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.
BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:
(a) BORROWING AND REPAYMENT. Borrower may from time to time during the
term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings,
and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this
Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note;
provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall
not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal
balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced
hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon
by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time
by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and
payable in full on April 30, 1997.
(b) ADVANCES. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal
sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of
(i) Xxxx Xxxxxx or Xxxx Xxxxxx or Xxxx Xxxxxxxx or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, any one
acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition
of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is
received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with
respect to advances deposited to the credit of any account of any Borrower with
the holder, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to
have been made to or for the benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact
that
-5-
persons other than those authorized to request advances may have authority to
draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine
whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by any
Borrower.
(c) APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Each payment made on this Note shall be
credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding
principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied
first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest
determined in relation to the Prime Rate, if any, and second, to the outstanding
principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to
LIBOR, with such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first, and
finally, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest
at the SAF Rate.
PREPAYMENT:
(a) PRIME RATE. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note
which bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate at any time, in
any amount and without penalty.
(b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note
which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the
minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); provided however,
that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less
than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding
principal balance thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment
option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and
payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable
thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately
upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for
each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed
Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month:
(i) DETERMINE the amount of interest which would have accrued each month
on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount
had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term
applicable thereto.
(ii) SUBTRACT from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of
interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount
prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in
effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and
in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.
-6-
(iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero,
discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.
Each Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank
incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is
difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or
liabilities. Each Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described
prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of
the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to
pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall
thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum four percent (4%) above
the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day
year, actual days elapsed). Each change in the rate of interest on any such
past due prepayment fee shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate
change is announced within Bank.
(c) SAF RATE. Borrower has no right to prepay principal on any portion of
this Note which bears interest at the SAF Rate.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT:
This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of
that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of September
30, 1996, as amended from time to time (the "Credit Agreement"). Any default in
the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined
event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Note.
MISCELLANEOUS:
(a) REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of
this Note, at the holder's option, may declare all sums of principal and
interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or
notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by each Borrower, and the
obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall
immediately cease and terminate. Each Borrower shall pay to the holder
immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (to include outside
counsel fees and all reasonable costs of the holder's in-house counsel),
expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the
holder's rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the
holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any
way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for
declaratory
-7-
relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration
proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in
connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any
adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other
person) relating to any Borrower or any other person or entity.
(b) OBLIGATIONS JOINT AND SEVERAL. Should more than one person or entity
sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be
joint and several.
(c) GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon.
UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY BANK AFTER
OCTOBER 3, 1989 CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR
PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER'S
RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY BANK TO BE
ENFORCEABLE.
