SECTION 2. CREDIT LINE; FINANCE CHARGES; OTHER CHARGES

Credit Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on and after the Closing Date to but not including the date that is the earlier of (i) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 and (ii) the date on which IBM Credit terminates the Credit Line pursuant to Section 9.2, 10.1 Credit agrees to extend to the Customer a credit line ("Credit Line") in the amount set forth in Attachment A pursuant to which IBM Credit will make to the Customer, from time to time, Advances in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Credit Line. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, IBM Credit may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion (x) temporarily increase the amount of the Credit Line set forth in Attachment A and decrease the amount of the Credit Line to the amount of the Credit Line set forth in Attachment A, in each case upon written notice to the Customer, and (y) make Advances pursuant to this Agreement upon the request of Customer in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding in excess of the Credit Line.

Product Advances.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, IBM Credit shall make Product Advances in connection with Customer's purchase of Products from Authorized Suppliers upon at least a two-day prior written notice from Authorized Suppliers. Customer hereby authorizes and directs IBM Credit to pay the proceeds of Product Advances directly to the applicable Authorized Supplier in respect of invoices delivered to IBM Credit for such Products by such Authorized Supplier and acknowledges that (i) any delivery to IBM Credit of an invoice by an Authorized Supplier shall be deemed as a request for a Product Advance by Customer, and (ii) each such Product Advance constitutes a loan by IBM Credit to Customer pursuant to this Agreement as if the Customer received the proceeds of the Product Advance directly from IBM Credit. IBM Credit may, upon written notice to Customer, cease to Include a supplier as an Authorized Supplier.

No finance charge shall accrue on any Product Advance during the Free Financing Period, if any, applicable to such Product Advance. Each Product Advance shall be due and payable on the Common Due Date for such Product Advance. Each Product Advance shall accrue a finance charge on the Average Daily Balance thereof from and including the first (1st) day following the end of the Free Financing Period, if any, for such Product Advance, or if no such Free Financing Period shall be in effect, from and including the date of invoice for such Product Advance, in each case, to and including the date such Product Advance shall become due arid payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, for any Product Advance with respect to which a Free Financing Period shall not be in effect, Customer shall pay a Free Financing Period Exclusion Fee. Such fee shall be due and payable on the Common Due Date for such Product Advance. If it is determined that amounts received from Customer were in excess of the highest rate permitted by law, then the amount representing such excess shall be considered reductions to principal of Advances.

Customer acknowledges that IBM Credit does not warrant the Products. Customer shall be obligated to pay IBM Credit in full even if the Products are defective or fail to conform to the warranties extended by the Authorized Supplier. The Obligations of Customer shall not be affected by any dispute Customer may have with any manufacturer, distributor or Authorized Supplier. Customer will not assert any claim or defense which it may have against any manufacturer, distributor or Authorized Supplier against IBM Credit.

Customer hereby authorizes IBM Credit to collect directly from any Authorized Supplier any credits, rebates, bonuses or discounts owed by such Authorized Supplier to Customer ("Supplier Credits"). Any Supplier Credits received by IBM Credit may be applied by IBM Credit to the Outstanding Advances. Any Supplier Credits collected by IBM Credit shall in no way reduce Customer's debt to IBM Credit in respect of the Outstanding Advances until such Supplier Credits are applied by IBM Credit; provided, however, that in the event any such Supplier Credits must be returned or disgorged or are otherwise unavailable for application, then Customer's Obligations will be reinstated as if such Supplier Credits had never been applied.

IBM Credit may apply any payments and Supplier Credits received by IBM Credit to reduce finance charges first and then to principal amounts of Advances owed by Customer. IBM Credit may apply principal payments to the oldest (earliest) invoices (and related Product Advances) first, but, in any case, all principal payments will be applied in respect of the Outstanding Product Advances made for Products which have been sold, lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged or otherwise disposed of prior to any other application thereof.

Customer will indemnify and hold IBM Credit harmless from and against any claims or demands asserted by any Person relating to or arising from the Products for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the condition of the Products, any misrepresentation made about the Products by any representative of Customer, or any act or failure to act by Customer except to the extent such claims or demands are directly attributable to IBM Credit's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall impair any rights or claims which the Customer may have against any manufacturer, distributor or Authorized Supplier.

Finance and Other Charges.

Finance charges for an Advance for a calendar month shall be equal to (i) one twelfth (1/12) of the applicable Product Financing Charge multiplied by (ii) the Average Daily Balance of such Advance for the period when such finance charge accrues during such calendar month multiplied by (iii) the actual number of days during such calendar month when such finance charge accrues divided by (iv) thirty (30).

Late charges pursuant to subsection (D) of this Section 2.3 for an Advance for a calendar month shall be equal to (i) one twelfth (1/12) of the Delinquency Fee Rate multiplied by (ii) the Average Daily Balance of such Advance for the period when such Advance is past due during such calendar month multiplied by (iii) the actual number of days during such calendar month when such Advance is past due divided by (iv) thirty (30).

The Customer hereby agrees to pay to IBM Credit the charges set forth as "Other Charges" in Attachment A. The Customer also agrees to pay IBM Credit additional charges for any returned items of payment received by IBM Credit. The Customer hereby acknowledges that any such charges are not interest but that such charges, if unpaid, will constitute part of the Outstanding Product Advances.

The finance charges and Other Charges owed under this Agreement, and any charges hereafter agreed to in writing by the parties, are payable monthly on receipt of IBM Credit's ▇▇▇▇ or statement therefor or IBM Credit may, in its sole discretion, add unpaid finance charges and Other Charges to the Customer's Outstanding Product Advances.

If any amount owed under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Advance, is not paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of determination (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the unpaid amount thereof will bear a late charge from and including the day after it was due and payable to and including the date IBM Credit receives payment thereof, at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) the amount set forth in Attachment A to this Agreement as the "Delinquency Fee Rate" and (b) the highest rate from time to time permitted by applicable law. In addition, if any Shortfall Amount shall not be paid when due pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, Customer shall pay IBM Credit a Shortfall Transaction Fee. If it is determined that amounts received from Customer were in excess of such highest rate, then the amount representing such excess, shall be considered reductions to principal of Advances.

Customer Account Statements. IBM Credit will send statements of each transaction hereunder as well as monthly billing statements to Customer with respect to Advances and other charges due on Customer's account with IBM Credit. Each statement of transaction and monthly billing statement shall be deemed, absent manifest error, to be correct and shall constitute an account stated with respect to each transaction or amount described therein unless within seven (7) Business Days after such statement of transaction or billing statement is received by Customer, Customer provides IBM Credit written notice objecting that such amount or transaction is incorrectly described therein and specifying the error(s), if any, contained therein. IBM Credit may at any time adjust such statements of transaction or billing statements to comply with applicable law and this Agreement.

Shortfall. If on any date the Outstanding Advances owed by Customer to IBM Credit exceeds the Maximum Advance Amount (such excess, the "Shortfall Amount"), Customer shall immediately pay to IBM Credit within two (2) Business Days an amount equal to such Shortfall Amount provided, however, payment by Customer to IBM Credit of such Shortfall Amount is accompanied by a current Collateral Management Report.

Application of Payments. The Customer hereby agrees that all checks and other instruments delivered to IBM Credit on account of Customers Obligations shall constitute conditional payment until such items are actually collected by IBM Credit. The Customer waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by IBM Credit on account of the Customer's Obligations. Customer agrees that IBM Credit shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments to Customer's Obligations in such manner as IBM Credit may deem advisable notwithstanding any entry by IBM Credit upon any of its books and records.

Prepayment and Reborrowing By Customer. (A) Customer may at any time prepay, without notice or penalty, in whole or in part amounts owed under this Agreement. IBM Credit may apply payments made to it (whether by the Customer or otherwise) to pay finance charges and other amounts owing under this Agreement first and then to the principal amount owed by the Customer.

(B) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any amount prepaid or repaid to IBM Credit in respect to the Outstanding Advances may be reborrowed by Customer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

The Customer hereby agrees that any disposition by IBM Credit of any Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of a repurchase agreement between IBM Credit and the manufacturer or any supplier (including any Authorized Supplier) of such Collateral constitutes a commercially reasonable sale. The Customer agrees, at the request of IBM Credit, to assemble the Collateral and to make it available to IBM Credit at places which IBM Credit shall select, whether at the premises of the Customer or elsewhere, and to make available to IBM Credit the premises and facilities of the Customer for the purpose of IBM Credit's taking possession of, removing or putting such Collateral in saleable form.

Waiver.

Upon the date that this Agreement is terminated, all of Customer's Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in their entirety, even if they are not yet due under their terms.

Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of Customer's Obligations, no termination of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents shall in any way affect or impair (i) Customer's Obligations to IBM Credit including, without limitation, any transaction or event occurring prior to and after such termination, or (ii) IBM Credit's rights hereunder, including, without limitation, IBM Credit's security interest in the Collateral. On and after a Termination Date IBM Credit may, but shall not be obligated to, upon the request of Customer, continue to provide Advances hereunder.

Indemnification. The Customer hereby agrees to Indemnify and hold harmless IBM Credit and each of its officers, directors, agents and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or other expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs now or hereinafter arising from the enforcement of this Agreement, the "Losses") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any event, circumstance or condition (a) occurring or existing on or before the date of this Agreement relating to any financing arrangements IBM Credit may from time to time have with (i) Customer, (ii) any Person that shall be acquired by Customer or (iii) any Person that Customer may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or (b) directly or indirectly, relating to the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or to any of the Collateral or to any act or omission of the Customer in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer shall not be obligated to indemnify IBM Credit for any Losses incurred by IBM Credit which are a result of IBM Credit's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

If either party brings any action or asserts any claim against the other party which arises out of this Agreement or any Other Documents, the party which does not prevail in such action or claim shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses of the prevailing party's defense of such action or claim including, but not limited to, all attorney's fees.

Additional Obligations. IBM Credit, without waiving or releasing any Obligation or Default of the Customer, may perform any Obligations of the Customer that the Customer shall fail or refuse to perform and IBM Credit may, at any time or times hereafter, but shall be under no obligation to do so, pay, acquire or accept any assignment of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or claim against the Collateral asserted by any person. All sums paid by IBM Credit in performing in satisfaction or on account of the foregoing and any expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other charges relating thereto, shall be a part of the Obligations, payable on demand and secured by the Collateral.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER IBM CREDIT NOR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY CUSTOMER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, ANY DELAY, OMISSION OR ERROR IN THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OR RECEIPT OF ANY E-DOCUMENT, OR ANY CLAIMS IN ANY MANNER RELATED THERETO. NOR SHALL IBM CREDIT OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY IT OR THEM HEREUNDER, EXCEPT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. IN THE EVENT CUSTOMER REQUESTS IBM CREDIT TO EFFECT A WITHDRAWAL OR DEBIT OF FUNDS FROM AN ACCOUNT OF CUSTOMER, THEN IN NO EVENT SHALL IBM CREDIT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF ANY AMOUNT INCORRECTLY DEBITED, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF IBM CREDIT'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E-DOCUMENT, WHERE SUCH FAILURE RESULTS FROM ANY ACT OF GOD OR OTHER CAUSE BEYOND SUCH PARTY'S REASONABLE CONTROL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY MECHANICAL, ELECTRONIC OR COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE) WHICH PREVENTS SUCH PARTY FROM TRANSMITTING OR RECEIVING E-DOCUMENTS.

Alteration/Waiver. This Agreement and the Other Documents may not be altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Customer and by IBM Credit. No delay or omission of IBM Credit to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or remedy or shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default. In the event that IBM Credit at any time or from time to time dispenses with any one or more of the requirements specified in this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, such dispensation may be revoked by IBM Credit at any time and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any such requirement subsequent thereto. IBM Credit's failure at any time or times to require strict compliance and performance by the Customer of any undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of IBM Credit thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance thereof. Any waiver by IBM Credit of any Default by the Customer under this Agreement or any of the Other Documents shall not waive or affect any other Default by the Customer under this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, whether such Default is prior or subsequent to such other Default and whether of the same or a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants, and representations of the Customer contained in this Agreement or the Other Documents and no Default by the Customer shall be deemed waived by IBM Credit unless such waiver is in writing signed by an authorized representative of IBM Credit.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the Other Documents and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby, the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents being severable in any such instance.

One Loan. All Advances heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter made by IBM Credit to the Customer under this Agreement or the Other Documents shall constitute one loan secured by IBM Credit's security interests in the Collateral and by all other security interests, liens and encumbrances heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter granted by the Customer to IBM Credit or any assignor of IBM Credit.

Additional Collateral. All monies, reserves and proceeds received or collected by IBM Credit with respect to other property of the Customer in possession of IBM Credit at any time or limes hereafter are hereby pledged by Customer to IBM Credit as security for the payment of Customer's Obligations and shall be applied promptly by IBM Credit on account of the Customer's Obligations; provided, however, IBM Credit may release to the Customer such portions of such monies, reserves and proceeds as IBM Credit may from time to time determine, in its sole discretion.

No Merger or Novations. Notwithstanding anything contained in any document to the contrary, it is understood and agreed by the Customer and IBM Credit that the claims of IBM Credit arising hereunder and existing as of the date hereof constitute continuing claims arising out of the Obligations of Customer under any Other Documents. Customer acknowledges and agrees that such Obligations outstanding as of the date hereof have not been satisfied or discharged and that this Agreement is not intended to effect a novation of the Customer's Obligations under any Other Documents.

Neither the obtaining of any judgment nor the exercise of any power of seizure or sale shall operate to extinguish the Obligations of the Customer to IBM Credit secured by this Agreement and shall not operate as a merger of any covenant in this Agreement, and the acceptance of any payment or alternate security shall not constitute or create a novation and the obtaining of a judgment or judgments under a covenant herein contained shall not operate as a merger of that covenant or affect IBM Credit's rights under this Agreement.

Paragraph Titles. The Section titles used in this Agreement and the Other Documents are for convenience only and do not define or limit the contents of any Section.

Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and the Other Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of IBM Credit and the Customer and their respective successors and assigns: provided, that the Customer shall have no right to assign this Agreement or any of the Other Documents without the prior written consent of IBM Credit.

or to such other address or number as each party designates to the other in the manner prescribed herein.

Each party may electronically transmit to or receive from the other party certain documents set forth in Attachment J ("E-Documents") via the Internet or electronic data interchange ("EDI"). Any transmission of data which is not an E-Document shall have no force or effect between the parties. EDI transmissions may be sent directly or through any third party service provider ("Provider") with which either party may contract. Each party shall be liable for the acts or omissions of its Provider while handling E-Documents for such party, provided, that if both parties use the same Provider, the originating party shall be liable for the acts or omissions of such Provider as to such E-Document. Some information to be made available to Customer will be specific to Customer and will require Customer's registration with IBM Credit before access is provided. After IBM Credit has approved the registration submitted by Customer, IBM Credit shall provide an ID and password(s) to an individual designated by Customer ("Customer Recipient"). Customer accepts responsibility for the designated individual's distribution of the ID and password(s) within its organization and Customer will take reasonable measures to ensure that passwords are not shared or disclosed to unauthorized individuals. Customer will conduct an annual review of all IDs and passwords to ensure they are accurate and properly authorized. IBM CREDIT MAY CHANGE OR DISCONTINUE USE OF AN ID OR PASSWORD AT ITS DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. E-Documents shall not be deemed to have been properly received, and no E-Document shall give rise to any obligation, until accessible to the receiving party at such party's receipt computer at the address specified herein. Upon proper receipt of an E-Document, the receiving party shall promptly transmit a functional acknowledgment in return. A functional acknowledgment shall constitute conclusive evidence that an E-Document has been properly received. If any transmitted E-Document is received in an unintelligible or garbled form, the receiving party shall promptly notify the originating party in a reasonable manner. In the absence of such a notice, the originating party's records of the contents of such E-Document shall control.

Each party shall use those security procedures which are reasonably sufficient to ensure that all transmissions of E-Documents are authorized and to protect its business records and data from improper access. Any E-Document received pursuant to this Section 10.12 shall have the same effect as if the contents of the E-Document had been sent in paper rather than electronic form. The conduct of the parties pursuant to this Section 10.12 shall, for all legal purposes, evidence a course of dealing and a course of performance accepted by the parties. The parties agree not to contest the validity or enforceability of E-Documents under the provisions of any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements are to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound thereby, The parties agree, as to any E-Document accompanied by the Customer's ID, that IBM Credit can reasonably rely on the fact that such E-Document is properly authorized by Customer. E-Documents, if introduced as evidence on paper in any judicial, arbitration, mediation or administrative proceedings, will be admissible as between the parties to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form. Neither party shall contest the admissibility of copies of E-Documents under either the business records exception to the hearsay rule or the best evidence rule on the basis that the E-Documents were not originated or maintained in documentary form.
