I. REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN OPTION
1.1 In General. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Bank hereby
establishes a credit facility in favor of the Borrower (the "Credit Facility")
under which the Bank will extend credit to the Borrower, from time to time until
December 5, 1999 (the "Credit Termination Date"), by way of (i) Loans pursuant
to Section 1.2 hereof and (ii) issuance of standby letters of credit for the
account of the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof. Each extension of
credit shall be in such amount as the Borrower may request, but the aggregate
principal amount of all extensions of credit at any one time outstanding shall
not exceed $3,000,000.00 (the "Commitment"). The Borrower may obtain credit,
repay without penalty and obtain further credit as provided for under this
Agreement, from the date hereof until the Credit Termination Date, in either the
full amount of the Commitment or any lesser sum. Upon the Borrower's execution
of this Agreement, the Borrower's existing credit facilities under the Revolving
Line of Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement, both dated April 8, 1997,
shall be terminated.
1.2 Drawings. The Borrower may draw on the Commitment in the following
manner(s):
(A) By obtaining a cash advance (each such cash advance herein
referred to as a "Loan").
(B) By obtaining the issuance of standby letters of credit.
1.3 Purpose. The proceeds of the Loans, other extensions of credit under
this Credit Facility and the Term Loan shall be used exclusively for short-term
working capital and to finance various fixed asset acquisitions and investments.
1.4 Security. The Credit Facility, Loans and Term Loan shall be secured
by liens on or security interests in the following collateral ("Collateral"),
which liens or security interests shall be of first priority unless otherwise
approved by the Bank: all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to
Borrower's Bank of Hawaii deposit accounts, accounts receivable, inventory,
furniture, fixtures and equipment, general intangibles, trade names, licenses
and proceeds of the foregoing.
1.5 Guarantors. Repayment of all Loans, the Term Loan and other
extensions of credit under this Agreement shall be jointly, severally,
unconditionally and absolutely guaranteed by the following persons and/or
entities: None.
1.6 Requests for Loans or Credit. Subject to the provisions of Articles
II and III, Section 7.2 and other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to obtain new Loans by
delivering to the Bank a written and completed "Notice of Loan/Conversion" in
the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. A Notice of Loan/Conversion must arrive
no later than noon (Hawaii Standard Time) on the date either one or three
Business Days prior to the proposed disbursement date in the case of a Base Rate
Loan or a LIBOR Loan, respectively.
If the Borrower fails to timely notify the Bank of the Borrower's selection
of a new Interest Period prior to the expiration of any current Interest Period,
such Loan will automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan upon expiration of
the current Interest Period.
Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower, all proceeds of Loans
shall be credited to the Borrower's Deposit Account No. 01-042327, maintained
with the Bank.
1.7 Limitation on Loans. LIBOR Loan amounts shall be in minimums of
$100,000 and in multiples of $50,000, with at most six (6) LIBOR Loans
outstanding at any one time.
1.8 Conversions of Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans. Subject to the
provisions of Article II and other terms and conditions in this Agreement, the
Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day (the "Conversion Date") to
convert all of the outstanding principal amount of one or more Base Rate Loans
to a LIBOR Loan by giving the Bank a Notice of Loan/Conversion at the Payment
Office no later than noon (Hawaii Standard Time) on the date three (3) Business
Days prior to the proposed Conversion Date; provided that if an Event of Default
is then in existence or if the Pricing Ratio is greater than 3.00, the Borrower
may not convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan. Although no repayment shall
actually be required upon any conversion, the proceeds thereof shall, for
bookkeeping purposes, be deemed to be applied directly to repay the outstanding
principal amount of the Base Rate Loans being converted.
1.9 Interest; Repayment of Loans and Credit.
(A) Interest Rate. The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Loans pursuant to the following interest
rate options that the Borrower may select in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement:
(1) a floating rate equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to
time; or
(2) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin determined as follows:
The Applicable Margin shall be determined quarterly in advance and shall
apply to each LIBOR Loan, based on the most recent quarterly financial statement
available, on the basis of the following pricing grid:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Pricing Ratio is Applicable Margin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
greater than 2.25%
or equal to
2.00 but is not
more than 3.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
greater than 2.00%
or equal to
1.00 but is not
more than 1.99
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
less than or equal to 0.99 1.25%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Borrower may not select the LIBOR interest rate option if the Pricing
Ratio is greater than 3.00 or if an Event of Default is in existence.
The Base Rate will increase or decrease during the term of this Agreement
if there is an increase or decrease in such rate. If the Base Rate or the LIBOR
Rate is no longer available, the Bank will choose a new rate that is based on
comparable information.
Interest hereunder shall be computed, but not compounded, daily on the
basis of the rate of interest then in effect. A change in the Base Rate shall
take effect on the date upon which a change in the Base Rate is announced and
made effective by the Bank, with or without notice to the Borrower. With
respect to any LIBOR Loan, interest will be calculated at a fixed rate for the
applicable Interest Period. Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed between payments and a 365-day year (or a 366-
day year in leap years) in respect of any Base Rate Loan or a 360-day year in
respect of any LIBOR Loan.
In no event shall the Borrower be obligated to pay any amount under this
Agreement that exceeds the maximum amount allowable by law. If any sum is
collected in excess of the applicable maximum amount allowable by law, the
excess collected shall, at the Bank's discretion, be applied to reduce the
principal balance of the Loans, the Term Loan or returned to the Borrower.
(B) Repayment of Loans.
(1) Payment Schedule.
(a) The Borrower agrees to make monthly payments to the Bank
of all accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Base Rate
Loan on the first day of each month until all amounts owing under the Credit
Facility and the Term Loan are paid in full.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each LIBOR Loan on the earliest of (i) the last day of the
Interest Period, (ii) the last day of each three month interval occurring during
the Interest Period, or (iii) prepayment of the LIBOR Loan.
(c) All principal and accrued interest then outstanding
under the Credit Facility shall be due and payable on the Credit Termination
Date, provided, however, that subject to the conditions set forth in Subsection
1.9(B)(1)(d) below, the Borrower shall have the option (the "Term Loan Option")
to convert the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans on the
Credit Termination Date into a term loan (the "Term Loan") payable as follows:
(i) Interest on the principal amount shall be payable
as set forth in Subsections 1.9(B)(1)(a) and 1.9(B)(1)(b).
(ii) Principal payments shall be payable quarterly
beginning ninety (90) days following the Credit Termination Date. The amount of
the principal payments shall be determined on the Credit Termination Date and
shall be calculated as the amount sufficient to fully amortize the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan on the Credit Termination Date in
equal principal payments over a period of three years.
(iii) From time to time the Borrower may convert all or
a portion of the outstanding principal balance under the Term Loan then subject
to the Base Rate to a LIBOR Loan, as provided and subject to the terms and
conditions of Section 1.8, and may continue LIBOR Loans at the end of the
Interest Period relating thereto.
(d) The Borrower's Term Loan Option is expressly conditioned
upon the following:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(ii) no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than
ten (10) days prior to the Credit Termination Date, the Borrower shall provide
to the Bank written notice of the Borrower's election to exercise the Term Loan
Option. Such notice shall set forth the Borrower's interest rate selection(s)
pursuant to Section 1.9(A) and shall include a pro forma compliance certificate,
signed by the Borrower's chief financial officer, in the form attached hereto as
Schedule 1.9 and made a part hereof. Such pro forma compliance certificate shall
be calculated using the financial results from the most recent compliance
certificate submitted to the Bank and shall certify to the Bank that the
Borrower's financial condition at that time meets the following standards, in
each case determined in accordance with GAAP:
Pro Forma Current Ratio of not less than 1.50 to one;
Tangible Net Worth of not less than the amount equal to: $4,800,000, plus
100% of net proceeds of all Equity Offerings after the date hereof, plus 50% of
Borrower's consolidated net earnings, excluding losses, for each quarter
commencing January 1, 1997, to and including the fiscal quarter immediately
preceding the date of determination;
Pro Forma Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.50 to one; and
Pro Forma Funded Debt to Cash Flow Ratio of not more than 3.00 to one.
If no interest rate option is set forth in the notice of exercise, the Base
Rate shall apply; and
(iii) satisfaction of the conditions for subsequent
extensions of credit as set forth in Section 3.2.
(e) The Borrower agrees to pay in full on or before the
Maturity Date all principal and accrued interest then outstanding under the
Credit Facility or the Term Loan, as applicable.
(2) Currency, Place and Dates of Payments. Payments shall be made
in United States money at the Bank's address stated above, or at such other
place as the Bank shall have designated by written notice to the Borrower. Any
payment due on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be included in the
computation of interest.
(3) Evidence of Making and Repayment of Loans. The Bank's records
evidencing the date of disbursement and principal amount of each Loan and the
Term Loan and the amounts of all repayments of principal and payments of
interest on each Loan and the Term Loan shall constitute prima facie evidence of
the making and repayment of such Loans and the Term Loan and of the payment of
such interest. However, the Bank's making of erroneous notations in its records
shall not affect the Borrower's obligation to repay the outstanding balance of
principal under a Loan or the Term Loan, and accrued interest thereon, as
provided in this Agreement.
(4) Late Charges. If any payment under this Agreement is not made
within five (5) days after notice that payment is due, the Borrower will pay to
the Bank a late charge in respect of that payment, in the amount of 5% of the
overdue payment.
(5) Application of Payments. Payments under this Agreement may be
applied by the Bank to the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement in any
manner the Bank deems appropriate; provided, however, that if no Event of
Default exists, payments applied to the principal amount of the Loans or the
Term Loan outstanding shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and next to
LIBOR Loans to minimize funding losses payable pursuant to Section 2.1, as
determined by the Bank. The priority of application elected by the Bank on any
one occasion shall not determine any such election in the future.
(C) Repayment of Drawings on Letter of Credit. If the Bank pays a
draft pursuant to a letter of credit issued under the Credit Facility, the
Borrower will automatically repay such draft by way of a Loan made under the
Credit Facility.
1.10 Evidence of Indebtedness; Loan Documents. The Credit Facility and
the Term Loan are or are to be evidenced and/or secured by this Agreement, a
Master Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and all such other
documents as the Bank may reasonably require from time to time to effectuate the
intent of this Agreement, together with all renewals, extensions and
modifications thereto (collectively the "Loan Documents").
1.11 The Borrower's Obligations. The Borrower's obligations to pay,
observe and perform all indebtedness, liabilities, covenants and other
obligations on the part of the Borrower to be paid, observed and performed under
this Agreement and the remainder of the Loan Documents are herein collectively
called the "Obligations".
1.12 Fees. In respect to the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, the
Borrower shall pay:
(A) a facility fee of $7,500.00, of which the Bank acknowledges
receipt of payment in full;
(B) an annual administration fee of $1,200 during the term of the
revolving loan, payable in arrears on the first anniversary of the Closing Date
and on the Credit Termination Date;
(C) the Bank's standard issuance and documentation fees for letters of
credit;
(D) in quarterly installments in arrears, a 1.25% per annum fee on the
amount of each outstanding standby letter of credit issued pursuant to this
Agreement; and

greater of (i) $2,500 or (ii) 0.25% of the indebtedness under the Term Loan.
Such fee shall be paid by the Borrower upon the Bank's receipt and acceptance of
the Borrower's request to exercise the Term Loan Option pursuant to Subsection
1.9(B)(1)(d).
II. FUNDING LOSS AND YIELD PROTECTION PROVISIONS
2.1 Funding Loss Indemnification. If the Borrower shall (a) pay or
convert any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of the applicable
Interest Period (whether on account of a scheduled payment, an optional
prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon
acceleration or otherwise, but excluding any such payment or conversion made by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4; or (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan after
giving due notice thereof to the Bank; or (c) fail to convert any Base Rate Loan
into a LIBOR Loan after giving due notice thereof to the Bank, the Borrower
shall reimburse the Bank and hold the Bank harmless for all costs, net losses or
administrative overhead incurred as a result of such repayment, prepayment or
failure, except those resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of the Bank. The Bank may use any reasonable method in calculating such actual
loss, costs and overhead under this Section, which calculation shall be binding
and conclusive on the Borrower absent manifest error.
2.2 Lack of Availability or Profitability of Eurodollar Deposits. With
respect to any LIBOR Loan or conversion requested, if the Bank shall have
determined (a) that dollar deposits in the principal amount of the respective
LIBOR Loan are not generally available in the interbank market; (b) that
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR; or (c) that the rates at
which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly
reflect the Bank's cost of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan, the Bank
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of
such determination to the Borrower. In that event, such Notice of
Loan/Conversion shall be of no force and effect. The Borrower may submit a new
Notice of Loan/Conversion electing a different option. Each determination by the
Bank hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.3 Change in Legality; Additional Costs to the Bank. If after the date
of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the
force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank or the
principal or interest on any Loans under this Credit Facility or the Term Loan;
impose, modify or hold applicable any fees, reserve requirements, special
deposits or any costs to the Bank in respect of any Loans; or cause a reduction
in the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank hereunder; the
Borrower will promptly pay to the Bank such additional amounts as will
compensate the Bank on an after-tax basis for such cost or reduction incurred.
The Bank may use any reasonable method in calculating its additional costs under
this Section, which calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Bank shall have no right to recover any compensation pursuant to this Section
2.3 with respect to amounts incurred or accrued more than 180 days prior to the
giving of notice to the Borrower by the Bank thereof.
2.4 Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if any change in any present or future applicable law, rule or
regulation, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or compliance
with any request, guideline, policy or directive (whether or not having the
force of
law) of any such governmental authority; shall make it unlawful or impracticable
in the sole judgment of the Bank to make, fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, or
any part of its commitment hereunder, then by notice to the Borrower the
obligation of the Bank to permit interest to be calculated on the basis of LIBOR
or to convert any other types of Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be
suspended until such time as the Bank shall notify the Borrower that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Interest on any such
LIBOR Loans shall automatically convert to an interest rate calculated the basis
of the Base Rate in accordance with the terms governing Base Rate Loans.
2.5 Capital Requirements. If the Bank determines that the introduction of
or change to any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central
bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law)
will result in an increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by the Bank or any corporation controlling the Bank, and that such
increase is based upon the existence of the Bank's Commitment hereunder and
other commitments of this type, then upon demand the Borrower shall pay the Bank
compensation. A certificate as to the amount of compensation, submitted to the
Borrower by the Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The Bank shall have no right to recover any compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.5 with respect to amounts incurred or accrued more
than 180 days prior to the giving of notice to the Borrower by the Bank thereof.

so doing at any time or times. The failure of the Bank at any time or times to
enforce its rights under such provisions, strictly in accordance with the same,

waiver or release of any other right or remedy.

negotiation, offer, and sale to third parties ("Participants") of the Credit
Facility or the Term Loan or participating interests in the Credit Facility or
the Term Loan, to any and all discussions and agreements heretofore or hereafter
made between the Bank and any Participant or prospective Participant regarding
the interest rate, fees, and other terms and provisions applicable to the Credit
Facility or the Term Loan (as between any such Participant and the Bank). The
Bank shall obtain the Borrower's written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld prior to the Bank's disclosure to any Participant or
prospective Participant other than any competitor of the Borrower, from time to
time, of such financial and other information pertaining to the Borrower, the
Credit Facility and the Term Loan as the Bank and such Participant or
prospective Participant may deem appropriate (whether public or non-public,
confidential or non-confidential, and including information relating to any
insurance required to be carried by the Borrower and any financial or other
information bearing on the Borrower's creditworthiness and the value of any
Collateral). The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank's disclosure of such
information to any Participant or prospective Participant constitutes an
ordinary and necessary part of the process of effectuating and servicing the
Credit Facility and the Term Loan. No Participant shall have any right to
approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment,

postpone or delay any date fixed for any payment of principal specified herein,

than interest payable after a default), under the Credit Facility or the Term

govern the construction of this Agreement and the rights and remedies of the

constitute the full and complete agreement between the Bank and the Borrower
with respect to the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, and all prior oral and
written agreements, commitments, and undertakings shall be deemed to have been
merged into the Loan Documents and such prior oral and written agreements,
commitments, and undertakings shall have no further force or effect except to
the extent expressly incorporated in the Loan Documents.
8.10 Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement,
termination, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, may in any
event be effective unless in writing signed by the Bank, and then only in the

or to any other agency or instrumentality of the United States of America to
support borrowings of Federal Funds.
8.12 Severability. If any provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be
held invalid under any applicable law, such invalidity shall not affect any
other provision of the Loan Documents that can be given effect without the

occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Bank may set
off obligations owed by the Bank to the Borrower (such as balances in checking
and savings accounts) against the Obligations, without first resorting to other
Collateral. To secure the Obligations, the Borrower grants to the Bank a

hereafter maintained by the Borrower with the Bank.

of this Agreement.

the Obligations.

are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning
or construction of any provision.

8.18 Dispute Resolution. Any controversy or claim arising out of or

request of either party, be decided by binding arbitration conducted in the
State of Hawaii without a judge or jury, under the auspices of the American
Arbitration Association or Dispute Prevention and Resolution, Inc. in accordance
with Chapter 658 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes and the respective and
applicable rules of the aforementioned organizations. The arbitrator will apply
any applicable statute of limitations and will determine any controversy
concerning whether an issue is arbitrable. Judgment upon the arbitration award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The prevailing party will be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as determined by
the arbitrator. This agreement to arbitrate shall not limit or restrict the
right, if any, of any party to exercise before, during or following any
arbitration proceeding, with respect to any claim or controversy, self-help
remedies such as setoff, to foreclose a mortgage or lien or other security
interest in any Collateral judicially or by power of sale, or to obtain
provisional or ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief from a court having
jurisdiction. Either party may seek those remedies without waiving its right to
submit the controversy or claim in question to arbitration.

(f) Consents. No consent of any other party (including, without
limitation, creditors of Borrower) and no consent, authorization, approval, or
other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority is
required either (1) for the grant to Bank of a security interest in the

performance of this Agreement by Borrower or (2) for the exercise by Bank of the
rights provided for in this Agreement.
4. Supplements; Further Assurances. Borrower agrees that at any time and from
time to time at its expense, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all

purported to be granted hereby or to enable Bank to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder.
5. Special Provisions Regarding Receivables Collateral. If Receivables are
included in the Collateral:
(a) Location of Records. All records pertaining to the Receivables
(including computer records) and all returns of Inventory are or will be kept at
the chief executive office of Borrower, and Borrower will give Bank 45 days'
prior written notice of any change in address of the chief executive office of
Borrower or of the change of the location where records pertaining to
Receivables or returns of Inventory are kept.
(b) Accuracy of Records. All books, records and documents relating to the
Receivables (including computer records) are and will be genuine and in all
respects what they purport to be; and the amount of each Receivable shown on the
books and records of Borrower is and will be the correct amount actually owing
or to be owing at maturity of such Receivable.
(c) Collection of Receivables. Until Bank directs otherwise, Borrower
shall use reasonable efforts in good faith to collect all the Receivables as and
when they become due. Following Bank's demand for remittance of the Receivables
to Bank, proceeds of Receivables collected by Borrower shall not be commingled
with other funds of Borrower and shall be immediately delivered to Bank in the
form received except for necessary endorsements to permit collection.
(d) Government Contracts. Borrower shall notify Bank if any Receivables
arise out of contracts with the United States government or any department or
agency thereof, and Borrower shall execute any instruments and take any steps to
perfect the assignment of the rights of Borrower to Bank as required by the
Federal Assignment of Claims Act, Hawaii Revised Statutes, as amended, or any
other similar law or regulation.
(e) Analysis of Receivables. Borrower shall, upon Bank's request, furnish
Bank within 10 days after the end of each calendar month, an aged analysis of
all outstanding Receivables, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.
(f) Further Documents. Borrower shall provide to Bank, at Bank's request,
from time to time: confirmatory assignment schedules; copies of all invoices
relating to the Receivables; evidence of shipment or delivery of Inventory; and
further information and/or schedules as Bank may reasonably require, all in form
satisfactory to Bank.
6. Protection and Insurance of Collateral. Borrower will take reasonable
efforts in good faith, at all times, to protect the Collateral against damage or
loss. Borrower will also insure all insurable Collateral against such hazards
and in such amounts as Bank may require, under policies containing endorsements
naming Bank as loss payee and prohibiting any cancellation or material revision
in such policies without 30 days' prior written notice to Bank.
7. Tax and Other Liens. Borrower shall pay promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims
(including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Collateral,
except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith.
8. Bank Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby appoints Bank Borrower's
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, and with full authority in
the name, place and stead of Borrower, or otherwise, from time to time, after an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in Bank's discretion to take
any action and to execute any instrument which Bank may reasonably deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Such action
includes, without limitation, withdrawal from a time deposit account before
maturity, even if a forfeiture of accrued interest results. Said power of
attorney is irrevocable, being coupled with an interest, and shall not be
affected by the disability or incapacity of Borrower.
9. Reasonable Care. Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which Bank, in
its individual capacity, accords its own property. Bank shall have no
responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
other persons with respect to any Collateral.
10. Events of Default.
(a) Definition. As used in this Agreement, the term "Event of Default"
has the meaning given to it in the Loan Agreement.
(b) Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Event of Default. If any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case,
Bank may, at any time or from time to time during such Event of Default:
(1) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, with or without notice or
process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon the premises where any
of the Collateral is located and remove the same;
(2) Instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or
other obligation constituting Collateral to make any payment required by
the terms of such instrument or agreement directly to Bank;
(3) Withdraw all monies, securities and instruments included in the
Collateral, for application to the Obligations;
(4) Sell or otherwise liquidate, or direct Borrower to sell or
otherwise liquidate, any or all investments made in whole or in part with
the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of
any such sale or liquidation; and
(5) Take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by
directing Borrower in writing to deliver it to Bank at any place or places
designated by Bank, in which event Borrower shall at its own expense:
(i) cause the same to be moved to the place or places so
designated by Bank;
(ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to Bank at such
place or places pending further action by Bank as provided in Section
10.(c) below; and
(iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide
such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect
the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition.
(c) Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. Bank may from time to time
exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies
provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of
Hawaii at the time of an Event of Default. Bank may also, without notice except
as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private
sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any of Bank's offices or elsewhere,
for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon
such other terms as Bank may deem commercially reasonable. Bank may be the
purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale to the extent
permitted by law and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Collateral sold at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a
credit on account of the purchase price. Each purchaser at any such sale shall
acquire the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of
Borrower, and Borrower hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law)
all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted. To the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten days' notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Bank may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed therefor, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place at and to which it was so adjourned. Borrower waives (to the
fullest extent permitted by law) any claims against Bank arising by reason of
the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at a private
sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale,
even if Bank accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral
to more than one offeree.
11. Application of Proceeds. After and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, any cash held by Bank as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
Bank in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all
or any part of the Collateral shall be applied from time to time:
(a) First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale,
collection or other realization, including compensation to Bank's agents and
attorneys, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Bank
in connection therewith;
(b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations then due; and
(c) Third, after payment in full of all Obligations then due, to Borrower,
or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such
proceeds.
12. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and no course of
dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by Bank of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
The remedies herein provided (are to the fullest extent permitted by law)
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
13. Notices. Any notices or consents required or permitted by this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered if delivered in person or if
sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by FAX, to
Borrower or Bank at the addresses set forth in Section 1, above, unless such
address is changed by written notice hereunder.
14. Applicable Law. The laws of the State of Hawaii shall govern the
construction of this Agreement and the rights and remedies of the parties
hereto.
15. Binding Effect and Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of, and shall be binding on, Bank and its successors and assigns and
Borrower and its successors and assigns. This Agreement, together with all other
documents evidencing or securing the Obligations, constitutes the entire
agreement between Bank and Borrower.
16. Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination,
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any material
departure by Borrower therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing
signed by Bank, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose given.
17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid
under any applicable law, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement that can be given effect without the invalid provision, and,
to this end, the provisions of this Agreement are severable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Bank have duly executed this Agreement
this 26th day of November, 1997.
