entirety without novation the Original Agreement in accordance with the
provisions herein.
AGREEMENT
The parties agree as follows:
1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
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. This Agreement shall be construed to
impart upon Bank a duty to act reasonably at all times.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 CREDIT EXTENSIONS.
Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions
as set forth below in this Section 2.
2.1.1 REVOLVING ADVANCES.
(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the
Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the amount of all
outstanding letters of credit (including drawn but unreimbursed letters of
credit), and minus (iii) the Foreign Exchange Reserve. Advances may be repaid
and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.
(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or
telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be
made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the
Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit A. Bank will credit Advances to

2.1.2 LETTERS OF CREDIT.
Bank will issue or have issued letters of credit for Borrower's account
not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing
Base minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus the
Foreign Exchange Reserve; however, the face amount of outstanding letters of
credit (including drawn but unreimbursed letters of credit and any Letter of
Credit Reserve) may not exceed $4,000,000. Each letter of credit will have an
expiration date of no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but
Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable
to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this
Agreement is not extended by Bank.
2.1.3 FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACT; FOREIGN EXCHANGE SETTLEMENTS.
Borrower may enter foreign exchange contracts (the "Exchange
Contracts") not exceeding an aggregate amount of $4,000,000 (the "Contract
Limit"), under which Bank will sell to or purchase from Borrower foreign
currency on a spot or future basis. Borrower may not request any Exchange
Contracts if it is out of compliance with any provision of this Agreement.
Exchange Contracts must provide for delivery of settlement on or before the
Revolving Maturity Date. The amount available under the Committed Revolving Line
is reduced by the following (the "Foreign Exchange Reserve") on any given day
(the "Determination Date"): (i) on all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which
delivery is to be effected or settlement allowed more than two business days
after the Determination Date, 10% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts;
plus (ii) on all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be
effected or settlement allowed within two business days after the Determination
Date, 100% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts.
Bank may terminate the Exchange Contracts if (a) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or (b) there is not sufficient availability under
the Committed Revolving Line and Borrower does not have available funds in its
deposit account for the Foreign Exchange Reserve. If Bank terminates the
Exchange Contracts, Borrower will reimburse Bank for all fees, costs and
expenses in connection with the Exchange Contracts.
Borrower may not permit the total of all Exchange Contracts on which
delivery is to be effected and settlement allowed in any two business day period
to be more than $4,000,000 (the "Settlement Limit") nor may Borrower permit the
total of all Exchange Contracts outstanding at any one time, to exceed the
Contract Limit. However, the amount which may be settled in any 2 business day
period may be increased above the Settlement Limit up to, but not above the
Contract Limit if:
(i) there is sufficient availability under the Committed Revolving Line
in the amount of the Foreign Exchange Reserve for each Determination
Date, provided that Bank in advance shall reserve the full amount of
the Foreign Exchange Reserve against the Committed Revolving Line; or
(ii) there is insufficient availability under the Committed Revolving
Line for settlements within any 2 business day period, but Bank: (A)
verifies good funds overseas before crediting Borrower's deposit
account (if Borrower sells foreign currency); or (B) debits Borrower's
deposit account before delivering foreign currency overseas (if
Borrower purchases foreign currency).
If Borrower purchases foreign currency, Borrower in advance must
instruct Bank either to treat the settlement as an advance under the Committed
Revolving Line, or to debit Borrower's account for the amount settled.
Borrower will execute all Bank's standard applications and agreements
in connection with the Exchange Contracts which are consistent with the terms of
this Agreement and pay all Bank's standard fees and charges.

2.1.4 EQUIPMENT ADVANCES.
(a) Through December 23, 1998 (the "Equipment Availability End Date"),
Bank will make advances ("Equipment Advance" and, collectively, "Equipment

may only be used to finance Equipment purchased on or after 90 days before the
date of this Agreement and may not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the
equipment invoice excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts
and installation expense. Software and used Equipment may constitute up to 25%
of the Committed Equipment Line. Each Equipment Advance must be for a minimum of
$50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, $500,000 under the Committed Equipment
Line shall be available to finance the purchase of Foreign Equipment. No invoice
will be required for such purpose.

rate in Section 2.3((a)) and is payable monthly until the Equipment Availability
End Date occurs. Equipment Advances outstanding on June 23, 1998 (the "First
Term Date"), are payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal, plus
accrued interest, beginning on July 23, 1998 and all subsequent payments of
principal plus interest are due on the same day of each month after that.
Additionally, Equipment Advances outstanding on the Equipment Availability End
Date (the "Second Term Date") are payable in 36 equal monthly installments of
principal plus accrued interest, beginning on the twenty-third (23rd) day of the
month following the Equipment Availability End Date. The final payment for all
Equipment Advances will be due on December 23, 2001 (the "Equipment Loan
Maturity Date"). Equipment Advances when repaid may not be reborrowed.

Responsible Officer or designee and include a copy of the invoice for the
Equipment being financed.
2.2 OVERADVANCES.
If Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3.exceed
the lesser of either (i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing
Base, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess.

principal balance at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Prime Rate or (ii) 2
percentage points above the LIBOR Rate as described in Exhibit D; and (2)
Equipment Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per
annum rate equal to 0.5 percentage points above the Prime Rate. At the First
Term Date and the Second Term Date, Borrower may elect a fixed rate on the then
outstanding Equipment Advances equal to the Treasury Rate then in effect. If
Borrower elects such fixed rate option, the Prepayment Fee will apply. 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.
(b) Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable
on the 23rd day of each month. Interest due on the Equipment Advances is payable
on the 23rd day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts
including Account Number _____________________________ for principal and
interest payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document. Bank will notify Borrower when it debits Borrower's
accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon
Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next
Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

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 occurs all Obligations are immediately due
and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit
under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) 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; 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) make, settle, and
adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; and (ii) 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 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 , and take any action under the policies
Bank reasonably deems prudent. Any reasonable 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
10
14
payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future
or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and section 9-207 of
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.
9.5 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.
9.6 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.
10. NOTICES
All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other
related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an
overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of
this Agreement. A Party may change its notice address by giving the other Party
written notice.
11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles
of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the State and Federal courts in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED
TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS
WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
12. GENERAL PROVISIONS
12.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and
permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any
rights under it without Bank's prior written consent which may be granted or
withheld in Bank's discretion. Bank has the right, without the consent of or
notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all
or any part of, or any interest in, Bank's obligations, rights and benefits
under this Agreement.

15

incurred, or paid by Bank from, following, or consequential to transactions
between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses),
except for losses caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 TIME OF ESSENCE.
Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations in this
Agreement.

Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other
provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

represents the entire agreement about this subject matter, and supersedes prior
negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings,
representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the
subject matter of this Agreement merge into this Agreement and the Loan
Documents.
12.6 COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and
delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.
12.7 SURVIVAL.
All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement
continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations
of Borrower in Section to indemnify Bank will survive until all statutes of
limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
12.8 CONFIDENTIALITY.
In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same
degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but
disclosure of information may be made (i) to Bank's subsidiaries or affiliates
in connection with their business with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees
or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, (iii) as required by law,
regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank's
examination or audit and (v) as Bank considers appropriate exercising remedies
under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that
either: (a) is in the public domain or in Bank's possession when disclosed to
Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (b) is
disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party
is prohibited from disclosing the information.
12.9 EFFECT OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.
This Agreement is intended to and does completely amend and restate,
without novation, the Original Agreement. All credit extensions or loans
outstanding under the Original Agreement are and shall continue to be
outstanding under this Agreement. All security interests granted under the
Original Agreement are hereby confirmed and ratified and shall continue to
secure all Obligations under this Agreement.

"PREPAYMENT FEE" is a fee on any portion of the Obligations with a
fixed interest rate (the "Fixed Obligations") paid before the payment due date.
"Base Interest Rate" means Bank's initial cost of funding the Fixed Obligations.

Market Rate" based on what the Bank would receive if it loaned the amount on the
prepayment date in a wholesale funding market matching maturity, principal
amount and principal and interest payment dates (the aggregate payments received
are
17
21
the "Current Market Rate Amount"). Bank may select any wholesale funding market
rate as the Current Market Rate. Second, Bank will take the prepayment amount
and calculate the present value of each principal and interest payment which,
without prepayment, the Bank would have received during the term of the Fixed
Obligations using the Base Interest Rate. The sum of the present value
calculations is the "Xxxx to Market Amount." Third, the Bank will subtract the
Xxxx to Market Amount from the Current Market Rate Amount. Any amount greater
than zero is the Prepayment Fee.
"PRIME RATE" is Bank's most recently announced "prime rate," even if it
is not Bank's lowest rate.
"QUICK ASSETS" is, on any date, the Borrower's consolidated,
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, net billed accounts receivable and

"REVOLVING MATURITY DATE" is December 23, 1998.
"SCHEDULE" is any attached schedule of exceptions.
"SUBORDINATED DEBT" is debt incurred by Borrower subordinated to
Borrower's debt to Bank (and identified as subordinated by Borrower and Bank).
"SUBSIDIARY" is for any Person, or any other business entity of which
more than 50% of the voting stock or other equity interests is owned or
controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Person or one or more Affiliates of
the Person.
"TANGIBLE NET WORTH" is, on any date, the consolidated total assets of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries minus, (i) any amounts attributable to (a)
goodwill, (b) intangible items such as unamortized debt discount and expense,
Patents, trade and service marks and names, Copyrights and research and
development expenses except prepaid expenses, and (c) reserves not already
deducted from assets, and (ii) Total Liabilities plus Subordinated Debt.
"TOTAL LIABILITIES" is on any day, obligations that should, under GAAP,
be classified as liabilities on Borrower's consolidated balance sheet, including
all Indebtedness, and current portion Subordinated Debt allowed to be paid, but
excluding all other Subordinated Debt.
"TREASURY RATE" is the Treasury Yield Percentage plus 350 basis points.
Treasury Yield Percentage is the average weekly yield (of the week ending
figures) in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release on actively
traded U.S. Treasury obligations of similar maturity to the principal being
repaid or if a Statistical Release is not published, the arithmetic average (to
the nearest .01%) of the per annum yields to maturity for each Business Day
during the week (ending at least two Business Days before the determination is
made) of all actively traded marketable United States Treasury fixed interest
rate securities with a constant maturity of, or not more than 30 days longer or

being prepaid (excluding securities that can be surrendered at face value to pay
Federal estate tax, or which provide for tax benefits to the holder).

LIBOR SUPPLEMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This LIBOR Supplement to Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Supplement") is a supplement to the Amended and Restated Loan
and Security Agreement, dated December 24, 1997 (the "Loan Agreement"), between
Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank" and sometimes referred to as "Lender") and Harmonic
Lightwaves, Inc. ("Borrower"), and forms a part of and is incorporated into the
Loan Agreement.
1. Definitions
"Business Day" means a day of the year (a) that is not a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of California or the City of
London are authorized or required to close and (b) on which dealings are carried
on in the interbank market in which Bank customarily participates.
"Interest Period" means for each LIBOR Rate Loan, a period of
approximately one, two or three months as the Borrower may elect, provided that
the last day of an Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be determined in
accordance with the practices of the LIBOR interbank market as from time to time
in effect, provided, further, in all cases such period shall expire not later
than the applicable Maturity Date.
"Interest Rate" shall mean as to :(a) Prime Rate Loans, a rate equal to
the Prime Rate; (b) LIBOR Rate Loans, a rate of 2.00% per annum in excess of the
LIBOR Rate (based on the LIBOR Rate applicable for the Interest Period selected
by the Borrower).
"LIBOR Base Rate" means, for any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan,
the rate of interest per annum determined by Bank to be the per annum rate of
interest as which deposits in United States Dollars are offered to Bank in the
London interbank market in which Bank customarily participates at 11:00 a.m.
(local time in such interbank market) two (2) Business Days before the first day
of such Interest Period for a period approximately equal to such Interest Period
and in an amount approximately equal to the amount of such Loan.
"LIBOR Rate" shall mean, for any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan,
a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%)
equal to (i) the LIBOR Base Rate for such Interest Period divided by (ii) 1
minus the Reserve Requirement for such Interest Period.
"LIBOR Rate Loans" means any Loans made or a portion thereof on which
interest is payable based on the LIBOR Rate in accordance with the terms hereof.
"Prime Rate" means the variable rate of interest per annum, most
recently announced by Bank as its "prime rate," whether or not such announced
rate is the lowest rate available from Bank. The interest rate applicable to the
Prime Rate Loans shall change on each date there is a change in the Prime Rate.
"Prime Rate Loans" means any Loans made or a portion thereof on which
Interest is payable based on the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms hereof.
"Regulatory Change" means, with respect to Bank, any change on or after
the date of this Loan Agreement in the United States federal, state or foreign
laws or regulations, including Regulation D, or the adoption or making on or
after such date of any interpretations, directives or requests applying to a
class of lenders including Bank of or under any United States federal or state,
or any foreign, laws or regulations (whether or not having a force of law) by
any court or government or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof.
"Reserve Requirement" means, for any Interest Period, the average
maximum rate at which reserves (including any marginal, supplemental or
emergency reserves) are required to be maintained during such Interest Period
under Regulation D against "Eurocurrency Liabilities" (as such term is used in
Regulation D) by member banks of the Federal Reserve System. Without limiting
the effect of the foregoing, the Reserve Requirement shall
29
reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by Bank by reason of any
Regulatory Change against (i) any category of liabilities which includes
deposits by reference to which the LIBOR Rate is to be determined as provided in
the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate" or (ii) any category of extensions of credit
or other assets which include Loans.
2. Requests for Loans; Confirmation of Initial Loans: Each LIBOR Rate
Loan shall be made upon the irrevocable written request of Borrower received by
Bank not later than 11:00 a.m. (Santa Clara, California time) on the Business
Day three (3) Business days prior to the date such Loan is to be made. Each such
notice shall specify the date such Loan is to be made, which day shall be a
Business Day; the amount of such Loan, the Interest Period for such Loan, and
comply with such other requirements as Bank determines are reasonable or
desirable in connection therewith.
Each written request for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in the form of a
LIBOR Rate Loan Borrowing Certificate as set forth on the LIBOR Rate Loan
Borrowing Certificate, which shall be duly executed by the Borrower.
Each Prime Rate Loan shall be made upon the irrevocable written request
of Borrower received by Bank not later than 3:00 p.m. (Santa Clara, California
time) on the Business Day on which such Loan is to be made. Each such notice
shall specify the date such Loan is to be made, day shall be a Business Day and
the amount of such Loan, and comply with such other requirements as Bank
determines are reasonable or desirable in connection therewith.
3. Conversion/Continuation of Loans.
(a) Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request that
Prime Rate Loans be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans or that any existing LIBOR
Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request shall
specify the amount of the Prime Rate Loans which will constitute LIBOR Rate
Loans (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans. Each written request for a conversion to a
LIBOR Rate Loan or a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be substantially in
the form of a LIBOR Rate Conversion/Continuation Certificate as set forth on
LIBOR Rate Conversion/Continuation Certificate, which shall be duly executed by
the Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3)
Business Days after Bank's receipt of such a request from Borrower, such Prime
Rate Loans shall be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans or such LIBOR Rate Loans shall
continue, as the case may be provided that:
(i) no Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time
or both would constitute an Event of Default exists;
(ii) no party thereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this
Supplement or of the Loan Agreement;
(iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as
Bank has established from time to time for Borrower's requests for LIBOR Rate
Loans;
(iv) the amount of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be $500,000.00 or such
greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000; and
(v) Bank shall have determined that the Interest Period or LIBOR Rate
is available to Bank which can be readily determined as of the date of the
request for such LIBOR Rate Loan.
Any request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans
or continue any existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to
purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other
applicable LIBOR Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Loans, but the provisions
hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund
the LIBOR Rate Loans.
30
(b) Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate
Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Bank has
received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such LIBOR Rate
Loans at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with
the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall, at Bank's option, convert to Prime
Rate Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default, or event which with the
notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall
exist, (ii) this Supplement or the Loan Agreement shall terminate, or (iii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Loans which have previously been
converted to LIBOR Rate Loans, or the aggregate principal amount of existing
LIBOR Rate Loans continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest
Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed either (A) the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding or (B) the Loans then
available to Borrower hereunder. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank, upon demand by
Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge Borrower's loan account) any amounts
required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion
of LIBOR Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.
(c) On all Loans, Interest shall be payable by Borrower to Bank monthly
in arrears not later than the twenty-third (23rd) day of each calendar month at
the applicable Interest Rate.
4. Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Loans; Etc.
(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or
acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Rate
Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, Borrower shall
immediately notify Borrower's account officer at Bank and, on demand by Bank,
pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would
have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the
last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been
recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the
certificate of deposit markets or the offshore currency interbank markets or
United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period
starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of
such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable
discretion. Bank's determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(b) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time
such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any
costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Loans
relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable
being herein called "Additional Costs"), in each case resulting from any
Regulatory Change which:
(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to
Bank under this Supplement in respect of any Loans (other than changes with
affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the
jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or
any deposits with or other liabilities of Bank (including any Loans or any
deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate"); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Supplement
(or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Loan
Agreement which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this section as
promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to
request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting
forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this
Section 4. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 4
of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its
obligations to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts
receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to
compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
31
(c) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the request of Bank, such amount
or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of such Bank)
to compensate it for any loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of
any failure by Borrower to borrow a Loan on the date for such borrowing
specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder.
(d) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any
applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any
change herein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its
applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) or any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a "Parent")
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank
(or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days
after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming
compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) If at any time Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion,
determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans for periods equal to the
corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore
currency interbank markets, (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the
cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Loan, then Bank shall promptly give
notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice Bank's obligation
to make the LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree
in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans. If it
shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Loans, or to
perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall repay the
Loans in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by
Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in
connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 4(a)).
