such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations under this Agreement which have
become due and remain unpaid. Each Bank shall be entitled to rely on any
notice by telephone or otherwise given by a person who Servicing Agent
reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer, and Borrower shall indemnify
and hold such Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by such Bank as a
result of such reliance. Such Bank will wire or credit, as appropriate, the

Business Days prior to the date of the prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Advance. The
notice of prepayment shall specify the date of the prepayment, the amount of
the prepayment, and the Advance or Advances to be prepaid. Each prepayment of
a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on
the amount prepaid and any amount required by Section 2.8.
The Revolving Facility shall terminate on the Maturity Date, at which
time all Advances under this Section 2.1 and other amounts due under this
Agreement shall be immediately due and payable.
2.1.1 Letters of Credit.
(a) At Borrower's written request,
Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit for Borrower's account. Each Bank
severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit, in accordance with such
Bank's Percentage Share.
(b) Issuing Bank shall issue the Letter
of Credit upon receipt of a Borrower's written request and Issuing Bank's
standard form of application, stating (a) the date such Borrower wishes to
receive the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the requested
amount of such Letter of Credit; (c) the aggregate amount of all Advances and
Letters of Credit then outstanding; (d) if appropriate, the conditions
requested by Borrower under which the Letter of Credit may be drawn upon; and
(e) any other information Issuing Bank might need to issue the Letter of
Credit. Issuing Bank shall promptly notify all of the Banks upon receipt of a
request for a Letter of Credit.
(c) The maximum aggregate obligation at
any one time for undrawn and drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit shall be
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Each Letter of Credit shall be issued
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Issuing
Bank's standard form of application and security agreement for letters of
credit. Each Letter of Credit shall (a) expire no later than the Maturity
Date, and (b) be otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Issuing Bank,
provided that a Letter of Credit may expire after the Maturity Date for so long
as Borrower's reimbursement obligation in connection therewith is secured by
cash on terms acceptable to Banks. Upon issuing a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall immediately notify the other Bank of such issuance and
shall, on a continuing basis, keep the other Bank informed of the drawn and
undrawn but unreimbursed amount of each Letter of Credit for so long as such
Letter of Credit is outstanding. With respect to standby Letters of Credit,
Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank a nonrefundable issuance fee not to exceed
one and one-half percent (11/2%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit at
the time Borrower requests the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall retain
a fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the
Letter of Credit, and shall share the balance of such issuance fee equally with
the other Bank. With respect to commercial Letters of Credit, Borrower shall
pay to Issuing Bank a nonrefundable issuance fee equal to one-eighth of one
percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit at the time
Borrower requests the Letter of Credit and a negotiation fee equal to
one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the
11
15
Letter of Credit at the time a draw is made on the Letter of Credit. The
Issuing Bank shall retain an issuance fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) and a
negotiation fee of One Hundred Dollar ($100), and shall share the balance of
such issuing fee and negotiation fee equally with the other Bank. On the day
on which Issuing Bank honors any drawing made by the beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank the full amount of the drawing so
honored, or at Borrower's option, shall treat the amount of such drawing as an
Advance under Section 2.1. The obligation to reimburse Issuing Bank for the
amount of such drawing is absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable.
(d) Borrower may request that Issuing
Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a currency other than United States
Dollars. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit,
Issuing Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the
Equivalent Amount thereof. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable
in a currency other than United States Dollars, Banks shall create a reserve
under the Committed Line for letters of credit against fluctuations in currency
exchange rates, in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the face amount
of such Letter of Credit. The amount of such reserve may be amended by Banks
from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The
availability of funds under the Committed Line shall be reduced by the amount
of such reserve for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
2.1.2 Foreign Exchange Contract; Foreign Exchange
Settlements.
(a) Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, Borrower may utilize up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for
Exchange Contracts, pursuant to which a Bank shall sell to or purchase from
Borrower foreign currency on a spot or future basis. All Exchange Contracts
must provide for delivery of settlement on or before the Maturity Date. The
limit available at any time shall be reduced by the following amounts (the
"Foreign Exchange Reserve") on each 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 from 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. In lieu of the Foreign Exchange Reserve for 100% of
the gross amount of any Exchange Contract, Borrower may request that Bank treat
such amount as an Advance under the Committed Line.
(b) Bank may, in its discretion,
terminate the Exchange Contracts at any time (a) that an Event of Default
occurs or (b) that there is no sufficient availability under the Committed Line
and Borrower does not have available funds in its bank account to satisfy the
Foreign Exchange Reserve. If Bank terminates the Exchange Contracts, and
without limitation of any applicable indemnities, Borrower agrees to reimburse
Bank for any and all fees, costs and expenses relating thereto or arising in
connection therewith.
(c) Borrower shall not permit the total
gross amount of all Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected and
settlement allowed in any two business day period to be more than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) nor shall Borrower permit the total gross amount of all
Exchange Contracts to which Borrower is a party, outstanding at any one time,
to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).
(d) Borrower shall execute all standard
form applications and agreements of Bank in connection with the Exchange
Contracts and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications and
agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and charges of Bank in
connection with the Exchange Contracts.
2.2 Overadvances. If. at any time or for any
reason, the sum of (i) Receivables Advances owed by Borrower to Banks pursuant
to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement plus (ii) the face
12
16
amount of Letters of Credit issued under Section 2.1.1 (including undrawn and
drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) plus (iii) the reserve, if any, taken
under Section 2.1.1(d) plus (iv) the Foreign Exchange Reserve is greater than
the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Committed. Line, Borrower shall
immediately pay to Servicing Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, for
payment to the Banks according to their respective Percentage Shares. If, at
any time or for any reason, the amount of the Inventory Advances owed by
Borrower to Banks pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement is greater than
the least of (i) Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) or (ii) the Inventory
Borrowing Base or (iii) Thirty Percent (30%) of the outstanding Advances,
Borrower shall immediately pay to Servicing Agent in cash the amount of such
excess, for payment to the Banks according to their respective Percentage
Shares.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in
Section 23(b), any Advances of each Bank shall bear interest, on the average
Daily Balance, at the rates specified in Sections 2.1(d), and 21(e),
respectively.
(b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear
interest, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal
to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately
prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Accrued interest shall be due and
payable in arrears upon the earlier of (i) with respect to any LIBOR Advance,
the end of the Interest Period or (ii) any payment of principal or (iii) on the
first day of each calendar month. Servicing Agent shall, at the option of
Servicing Agent, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic
Payments against Borrower's deposit account held at SVB or against the
Committed Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at
the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be
compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.
(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is
changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder
shall be increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime
Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All
interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of
a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.4 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default, each Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check, or
other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower
specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, the receipt by a Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other
item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce
Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such
payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such
check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or
payment received by a Bank after noon California time shall be deemed to have
been received by such Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day. Whenever any payment to a Bank under the Loan
Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date
that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next
Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue
and be payable for the period of such extension.
13
17
2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Banks the following:
(a) Facility Fee. An annual Facility Fee equal
to one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the Committed Line plus one half of one
percent (0.5%) of the Inventory Line, pro-rated.
(b) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees.
Each Bank's customary fees and out-of-pocket expenses for such Bank's audits
of Borrower's Accounts, and for each appraisal of Collateral and financial
analysis and examination of Borrower performed from time to time by such Bank
or its agents; and
(c) Bank Expenses. Upon the date hereof, all
Bank Expenses incurred through the date hereof, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, and, within thirty (30) days of demand, other
Bank Expenses as they become due from time to time hereunder.
2.6 Additional Costs. In case any law, regulation, treaty
or official directive or the written interpretation or application thereof by
any court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof
or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):
(a) subjects any Bank to any tax with respect to
payments of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by
Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
(except for taxes on the overall net income of such Bank imposed by the United
States of America or any political subdivision thereof);
(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any
deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against
assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, any Bank;
or
(c) imposes upon any Bank any other material
condition with respect to its performance under this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank,
reduce the income receivable by such Bank or impose any expense upon such Bank
with respect to any loans, such Bank shall notify Borrower thereof in writing.
Borrower shall pay to such Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction
in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is
incurred or determined, upon presentation by such Bank of a statement of the
amount and setting forth such Bank's calculation thereof, all in reasonable
detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest
error; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any such amount
attributable to any period prior to 180 days prior to the date of such
certificate.
2.7 Conversion/Continuation of Advances.
(a) Borrower may from time to time submit in
writing a request that Prime Rate Advances be converted to LIBOR Rate Advances
or that any existing LIBOR Rate Advances continue for an additional Interest
Period. Such request shall specify the amount of the Prime Rate Advances that
will constitute LIBOR Rate Advances (subject to the limits set forth below) and
the Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances. Each written
request for a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Advance or a continuation of a LIBOR
Rate Advance shall be substantially in the form of a LIBOR Rate
Conversion/Continuation Certificate as set forth on Exhibit C-2, which shall
be duly executed by a Responsible Officer. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, three (3) Business Days after Servicing Agent's receipt of
such a request from Borrower, such Prime Rate Advances shall be converted to
LIBOR Rate Advances or such LIBOR Rate Advances shall continue, as the case may
be provided that:
14
18
(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 hereto shall have sent any
notice of termination of the Agreement;
(iii) Borrower shall have complied with
such customary procedures as Banks have established from time to time for
Borrower's requests for LIBOR Rate Advances;
(iv) the amount of a Prime Rate Advance
shall be $25,000 or more, and the amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be
$500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000; and
(v) Servicing Agent shall have determined
that the Interest Period or LIBOR Rate is available to Banks as of the date of
the request for such LIBOR Rate Advance.
Any request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Advances to LIBOR Rate
Advances or continue any existing LIBOR Rate Advances shall be irrevocable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Banks 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 Advances,
but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Banks had purchased
such deposits to fund the LIBOR Rate Advances.
(b) Any LIBOR Rate Advances shall
automatically convert to Prime Rate Advances upon the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, unless Banks have received and approved a complete
and proper request to continue such LIBOR Rate Advance at least three (3)
Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any
LIBOR Rate Advances shall, at Banks' option, convert to Prime Rate Advances in
the event that an Event of Default shall exist. Borrower shall pay to Banks,
upon demand by Banks (or Servicing Agent may, at its option, charge Borrower's
deposit account) any amounts required to compensate Banks for any loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such
person, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Rate Advances to Prime Rate
Advances pursuant to any of the foregoing.
2.8 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR
Rate Advances.
(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or
mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Banks receive all or part of the
principal amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the last day of the Interest
Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance Borrower shall on demand by Servicing Agent,
pay Servicing Agent 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 or term exceeds (ii) the
interest which would have been recoverable by Banks 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 or term at the interest rate
determined by Servicing Agent in its reasonable discretion. Servicing Agent's
determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Borrower shall pay to a Bank, upon demand
by a Bank, from time to time such amounts as such Bank may reasonably determine
to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by such Bank that such
Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount
receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of any Advances 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:
15
19
(i) changes the basis of taxation
of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement in respect of any
Advances (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the
overall net income of such 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 such
Bank (including any Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of
"LIBOR Base Rate"); or
(iii) imposes any other material
condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or
liabilities).
Such Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the
Agreement which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this section
as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to
request such compensation. Such Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement
setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for
compensation under this Section 2.8. Determinations and allocations by a Bank
for purposes of this Section 2.8 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its
costs of maintaining its obligations to make Advances or of making or
maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and
of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any
Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) Borrower shall pay to a Bank, upon
the request of such Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
sole good faith opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any reasonable loss,
costs or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by Borrower to
borrow a LIBOR Rate Advance on the date for such borrowing specified in the
relevant notice of borrowing hereunder.
(d) If a Bank shall determine that the
adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, 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) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such 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 such Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction. A statement of such
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 a Bank, in its sole
and absolute discretion, determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate
Advances for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods or any other
period are not available to such Bank in the offshore currency interbank
markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of
lending the LIBOR Rate Advance, then such Bank shall promptly give notice
thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice such Bank's obligation
to make the LIBOR Rate Advances shall terminate, unless Banks and Borrower
agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate
Advances. If it shall become unlawful for a Bank to continue to fund or
maintain any Advances, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by
such Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in full with accrued
16
20
interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder
(including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(a)).
2.9 Term. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on
the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Banks shall have the right
to terminate any obligation to make Advances and Inventory Advances under this
Agreement immediately and without notice upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) the Maturity Date.
On the date of termination, all Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable in cash or by wire transfer.

notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following,
all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by
this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately
due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to
or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other
agreement between Borrower and Bank; and
(c) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with

undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under
such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such
amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letters of Credit fees scheduled to be
paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit;
24
28
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly
with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank
reasonably considers advisable;
(e) Without notice to Borrower set off and apply
to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by
Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the
account of Borrower held by Bank.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees)
as Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification
of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank's security interest in the
Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment
or security that may come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on
any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account

notices to account debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and
decisions with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and
adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts directly with account
debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable.
The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and every one
of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable
until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and Bank's obligation to
provide Advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts
or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then a Bank may do any or all of

such reserves under the Revolving Facility as Banks deem necessary to protect
Banks from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain
insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and
take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any
amounts so paid or deposited by a Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be
immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable
rate hereinabove provided. Any payments made by a Bank shall not constitute an
agreement by a Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by a
Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.4 Remedies Cumulative. Banks' rights and remedies
under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be
cumulative. A Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent
herewith as provided under applicable law. No exercise by a Bank of one right
or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by a Bank of any Event of
Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by a
Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by
a Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of
a Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it was given.
9.5 Demand; Protest. Subject to any requirement under
other sections of this Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment,

on the signature page signed by the Bank to (b) the Committed Line. Any
reference in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to an allocation between or
sharing by the Banks of any right, interest, or duty "ratably,"
"proportionally," "pro rata," or in similar terms shall refer to this ratio.
No Bank is obligated to advance any funds in lieu of or for the account of the
other Bank if the latter Bank fails to make such Advance.
12.2 Designation of Service Agent. To facilitate the
administration of this Agreement, SVB shall act as "Servicing Agent" for itself
and BofH. Servicing Agent shall have only such duties as are expressly set
forth in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the
26
30
Banks. Servicing Agent shall be deemed to act on behalf of both Banks whenever
Servicing Agent acts under this Agreement.
12.3 Resignation. Servicing Agent may resign as Servicing
Agent, upon thirty (30) day's written notice to the other Banks and to Borrower
and appointment of a successor Servicing Agent. Upon receipt of notice of
resignation, the Banks shall appoint a successor Servicing Agent. The
resigning Servicing Agent shall cooperate fully in delivering to the successor
Servicing Agent the Loan Documents and copies of all records relating to the
Advances and payments made hereunder that the successor Servicing Agent
reasonably requests.
12.4 Servicing Agent as Bank. SVB shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the
same as though it were not Servicing Agent. The term "Banks" includes
Servicing Agent in Servicing Agent's individual capacity. Servicing Agent and
its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as
agent or trustee for other lenders to, and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, or other business with, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliates as if Servicing Agent were not Servicing Agent.
12.5 No Agency. EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN, NEITHER BANK
IS AN AGENT OF THE OTHER. NEITHER BANK HAS ANY AUTHORITY TO ACT OR FAIL TO ACT
FOR THE OTHER. THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH BANK HEREUNDER ARE SEVERAL. NO BANK
SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE FAILURE OF ANY OTHER BANK TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER.
12.6 No Reliance. The provisions of this Article 12 are
solely for the benefit of Banks in specifying their rights and obligations with
respect to each other, and not for the benefit of any Borrower or its assigns
or successors.
13. GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns.
(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights
hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without a Bank's prior written consent,
which consent may be granted or withheld in such Bank's sole discretion.
Subject to the terms of any agreement between Banks, a Bank shall have the
right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer,
negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in
such Bank's obligations, rights and benefits hereunder, subject to the
provisions of this Section 13.1.
(b) A Bank may sell, negotiate or grant
participations to other financial institutions in all or part of the
obligations of the Borrower outstanding under the Loan Documents, without
notice to or the approval of Borrower; provided that any such sale, negotiation
or participation shall be in compliance with the applicable federal and state
securities laws and the other requirements of this Section 13.1.
Notwithstanding the sale, negotiation or grant of participations, such Bank
shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Bank in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) The grant of a participation interest shall
be on such terms as a Bank determines are appropriate, provided only that (1)
the holder of such a participation interest shall not have any of the rights of
such Bank under this Agreement except, if the participation agreement so
provides, rights to demand the payment of costs of the type described in
Section 2.6, provided that the aggregate amount that the Borrower shall be
required to pay under Section 2.6 with respect to any ratable share of the
Committed Line or any Advance (including amounts paid to participants) shall
27
31
not exceed the amount that Borrower would have had to pay if no participation
agreements had been entered into, and (2) the consent of the holder of such a
participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of
provisions of the Loan Agreement other than those which (i) increase the amount
of the Committed Line, (ii) extend the term of this Agreement, (iii) decrease
the rate of interest or the amount of any fee or any other amount payable to a
Bank under this Agreement, (iv) reduce the principal amount payable under this
Agreement, or (v) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or
interest or any other amount payable under this Agreement.
(d) A Bank may assign, from time to time, all or
any portion of the Committed Line to an Affiliate of such Bank or to The
Federal Reserve Bank or, subject to the prior written approval of Borrower
(which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), to any other financial
institution; provided, that (i) the amount of the Committed Line being assigned
pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than $500,000 and
shall be an integral multiple of $250,000 and (ii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to Borrower an assignment agreement in a
form reasonably acceptable to each. Upon such execution and delivery, from and
after the effective date specified in such assignment agreement (x) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment
agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) Bank
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
by it pursuant to such assignment agreement, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (other than pursuant to this
Section 13.1(d)), and, in the case of an assignment agreement covering all or
the remaining portion of Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
Bank shall cease to be a party hereto. In the event of an assignment
hereunder, the parties agree to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to
reflect the mechanical changes which are necessary to document such assignment.
Each party shall bear its own expenses (including without limitation attorneys'
fees and costs) with respect to such an amendment.
13.2 Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless each Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against (a)
all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any
other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by a
Bank as a result of, or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential
to, transactions between such Bank and Borrower, whether under this Agreement
or otherwise, (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses), except for losses caused by such Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the
performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.
13.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this
Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for
the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
13.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. This Agreement
cannot be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings,
representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, if any, are merged into this
Agreement and the Loan Documents.
13.6 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, shall be deemed to be an original, and
all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Agreement.
28
32
13.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and
warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so
long as any Obligations (excluding Obligations under Section 2.6 and 13.2 to
the extent they remain inchoate at the time the outstanding payment Obligations
are paid in full) remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify
a Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities
described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of
limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against such
Bank have run.
13.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential
information each Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises
with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain
the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received
pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be
made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their
present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective
transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Advances, provided that they
have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower
and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations,
rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order (iv) as may be
required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of
Bank and (v) as Bank may deem appropriate in the exercise of its remedies under
this Agreement. Confidential information hereunder shall not include
information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or
possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain
after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank
by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third
party is prohibited from disclosing such information. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination,
copying or making extracts of, or discussions of: any document, information or
other matter (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that
constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary
information (provided that the terms of agreements that generate Accounts shall
not be deemed to be "non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary
information"), or (ii) in respect to which disclosure to Bank (or designated
representative) is then prohibited by (a) law, or (b) an agreement binding upon
Borrower or any Subsidiary that was not entered into by Borrower or such
Subsidiary for the primary purpose of concealing information from Bank.
