SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of May 23, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation with a loan production office located at 8705 SW Nimbus, Suite 240, Beaverton, Oregon 97008 (“Bank”), and JIVE SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. This Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of October 14, 2008, as amended from time to time (the “Existing Loan Agreement”). The parties agree as follows:
| 1 | ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS |
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.
| 2 | LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT |
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.
(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Loan Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.
2.1.2 Letters of Credit.
(a) Until the Revolving Line Maturity Date, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency for Borrower’s account. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), minus (i) the sum of all amounts used for Cash Management Services, minus (ii) the FX Reduction Amount, and minus (iii) the Secured Swap Obligations.
(b) If, on the effective date of any termination of this Agreement, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105.0%) of the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars plus one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currency, plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Loan Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”). Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.
-1-
(c) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.
(d) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges).
(e) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
2.1.3 FX Forward Contracts. Until the Revolving Line Maturity Date, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10.0%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract. The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times (a) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), minus (b) the sum of all amounts used for Cash Management Services, minus (c) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), and minus (d) the Secured Swap Obligations. The amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions under Section 2.1.2 and Section 2.1.4 shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”). Any amounts needed to fully reimburse Bank for any amounts not paid by Borrower in connection with FX Forward Contracts will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.
2.1.4 Cash Management Services. Until the Revolving Line Maturity Date, Borrower may use up to (a) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), minus (b) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), minus (c) the FX Reduction Amount and minus (d) the Secured Swap Obligations, for Bank’s cash management services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management Services”). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash Management Services will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.
2.1.5 Term Loan Advances.
(a) Availability.
(i) Existing Term Advance. Borrower acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, the outstanding principal balance of the 2011 Senior Term Advance (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) is Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000.00) (the “Existing Term Advance”), and there is no further availability with respect thereto. Borrower hereby confirms that (A) the Existing Term Advance shall be a Prime Rate Credit Extension and (B) the Selected Amortization Number for the Existing Term Advance shall be twenty (20).
(ii) Converted Advances. Upon Borrower’s written request to Bank, some or all of the Advances outstanding at any time may be converted and deemed to be term advances hereunder with a term equal to that number of months as shall equal the Selected Amortization Number for such Converted Advance multiplied by three (each, a “Converted Advance” and, collectively, the “Converted Advances”).
-2-
(iii) Generally; Limitations. The Existing Term Advance and any Converted Advance shall each be referred to herein as a “Term Loan Advance” and, collectively, the “Term Loan Advances”, in each case made by Bank. Borrower shall not request and Bank shall not be required to make more than four (4) Term Loan Advances (which shall include the Existing Term Advance) in any twelve (12) month period. Each Term Loan Advance shall be in an amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
(b) Repayment. Commencing on the first (1st) day of the calendar quarter following the Funding Date of each Term Loan Advance and continuing on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter thereafter, Borrower shall repay such Term Loan Advance in (i) the Selected Amortization Number of consecutive equal quarterly installments of principal, each in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Term Loan Advance as of its Funding Date divided by the Selected Amortization Number, plus (ii) payments of accrued interest on each applicable Interest Payment Date at the rate set forth in Section 2.3(b). All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under each Term Loan Advance, and all other outstanding Loan Obligations with respect to such Term Loan Advance, are due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to such Term Loan Advance.
2.1.6 General Provisions Relating to the Credit Extensions. Each Credit Extension shall, at Borrower’s option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be either in the form of a Prime Rate Credit Extension or a LIBOR Credit Extension; provided that in no event shall Borrower maintain at any time LIBOR Credit Extensions having more than two (2) different Interest Periods. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the Credit Extensions at the rates and in the manner set forth in Section 2.3.
2.1.7 Prepayments. Borrower may prepay all or any portion of any Advances or Term Loan Advances at any time, provided, however, (a) Borrower shall provide at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of any such prepayment and (b) with respect to LIBOR Credit Extensions, nothing herein shall limit the requirement that Borrower pay amounts owing in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Sections 3.6 and/or 3.7.
2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the sum of (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Advances, plus (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advances, exceeds the Revolving Line, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.
2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.
(a) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Credit Extensions and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any Credit Extension, the Funding Date for such Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.
(b) Interest Rate. Each Credit Extension shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made, continued or converted until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Margin, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, as the case may be. Pursuant to the terms hereof, interest on each Credit Extension shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Credit Extension pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of such Credit Extension so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof. All accrued but unpaid interest on Advances shall be due and payable on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and all accrued but unpaid interest on each Term Loan Advance shall be due and payable on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date.
(c) Default Rate. At Bank’s election, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Loan Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percent (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Loan Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.
-3-
(d) Prime Rate Credit Extensions. Each change in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions based on changes in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of such change.
(e) LIBOR Credit Extensions. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Credit Extension shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder. Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extension, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extension.
(f) Debit of Accounts. Bank, for itself and as agent for the Secured Swap Providers, may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank or any Secured Swap Provider when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank:
(a) Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), on the Effective Date;
(b) Anniversary Fees. For each twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date occurring on or prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fully earned, non-refundable anniversary fee of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00), which anniversary fees shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) such twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the acceleration of the Obligations after the occurrence of an Event of Default. For the sake of clarity, unless already due pursuant to (ii) in the prior sentence, the anniversary fee of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) shall not be due or payable in the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the applicable anniversary;
(c) Letter of Credit Fee. Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of Letters of Credit, upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, each anniversary of the issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit, and upon the renewal of such Letter of Credit by Bank;
(d) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. A fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”), payable quarterly on the first (1st) day of each quarter, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to the Unused Revolving Line Margin per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line. The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall equal the difference between (i) the Revolving Line and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of each of the Advances and the Term Loan Advances outstanding. Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder; and
(e) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.
2.5 Payments; Application of Payments.
(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.
(b) Bank shall apply the whole or any part of collected funds against the Revolving Line and the other Loan Obligations then due and owing to Bank, or credit such collected funds to a depository account of Borrower with Bank (or an account maintained by an Affiliate of Bank), the order and method of such application to be directed by Borrower.
-4-
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all payments received or collected by Bank (including proceeds for the realization of Collateral) after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded) or upon the occurrence of an additional termination event (as defined under the respective Secured Rate Contract) with Borrower as the affected party (unless otherwise waived) or upon the designation of an early termination date with respect to any Secured Rate Contract with Borrower as the defaulting or affected party, shall be applied as follows:
first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Bank Expenses, of Bank payable or reimbursable by Borrower under the Loan Documents;
second, to (i) the payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to Bank, and (ii) the payment of any ordinary course settlement payments (including “Unpaid Amounts” as defined in the Secured Rate Contract) then due and payable to any Secured Swap Provider under its Secured Rate Contracts, after such ordinary course settlement payments have been reduced by the amount of any cash collateral that has been made available to such Secured Swap Provider to secure the obligations under such Secured Rate Contract;
third, to (i) the payment of principal of the Loan Obligations including, without limitation any reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit that are then due and payable; (ii) the payment of all termination payments (but excluding Unpaid Amounts paid under clause “second” above) under the Secured Rate Contracts then due and payable to any Secured Swap Provider, after such termination payments have been reduced by the amount of any cash collateral that has been made available to such Secured Swap Provider to secure the obligations under such Secured Rate Contract; and (iii) the cash collateralization of one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the face amount of any unmatured Letters of Credit to the extent not then due and payable; and (iv) the cash collateralization of any other unmatured Secured Swap Obligations in an amount necessary to secure the obligations of Borrower to any Secured Swap Provider under its Secured Rate Contracts;
fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and
fifth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whomever may be lawfully entitled thereto.
In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (y) Bank, each Secured Swap Provider and each other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses second, third and fourth above.

3.4 Procedures for Borrowing.
(a) Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of a Credit Extension set forth in this Agreement, each Credit Extension shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to Bank in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower or his or her designee or without instructions if the Credit Extensions are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance. Such Notice of Borrowing must be received by Bank prior to 12:00 p.m. Pacific time, (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Credit Extensions, and (ii) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Prime Rate Credit Extensions, specifying:
(1) the amount of the Credit Extension;
(2) the requested Funding Date;
(3) whether the requested Credit Extension shall be an Advance or Term Loan Advance;
-6-
(4) if the requested Credit Extension is a Term Loan Advance, the Specified Amortization Number;
(5) whether the Credit Extension is to be comprised of LIBOR Credit Extensions or Prime Rate Credit Extensions; and
(6) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Credit Extensions included in such notice; provided that if the Notice of Borrowing shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Credit Extension comprised of LIBOR Credit Extensions, such Interest Period shall be thirty (30) days.
(b) The proceeds of all such Credit Extensions will then be made available to Borrower on the Funding Date by Bank by transfer to the Designated Deposit Account and, subsequently, by wire transfer to such other account as Borrower may instruct in the Notice of Borrowing. No Credit Extensions shall be deemed made to Borrower, and no interest shall accrue on any such Credit Extension, until the related funds have been deposited in the Designated Deposit Account.
3.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections.
(a) So long as (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:
(1) elect to convert on any Business Day, Prime Rate Credit Extensions into LIBOR Credit Extensions;
(2) elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Credit Extensions maturing on such Interest Payment Date; or
(3) elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Credit Extensions maturing on such Interest Payment Date into Prime Rate Credit Extensions.
(b) Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 10 to be received by Bank prior to 12:00 p.m. Pacific time (i) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Credit Extensions are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Credit Extensions; and (ii) on the Conversion Date, if any LIBOR Credit Extensions are to be converted into Prime Rate Credit Extensions, in each case specifying the:
(1) proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date;
(2) aggregate amount of the Credit Extensions to be converted or continued;
(3) nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and
(4) duration of the requested Interest Period.
(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower shall have failed to timely select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Credit Extensions into Prime Rate Credit Extensions.
(d) Any LIBOR Credit Extensions shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Prime Rate Credit Extensions in the event that (i) an Event of Default shall exist, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions which have been previously converted to LIBOR Credit Extensions, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Credit Extensions continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the Revolving Line. Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Credit Extensions to Prime Rate Credit Extensions pursuant to any of the foregoing.
-7-
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Credit Extensions, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Credit Extensions.
3.6 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Credit Extensions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Credit Extensions as to the matters covered:
(a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Credit Extensions for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.
(b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Credit Extension, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extension on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Credit Extensions may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Credit Extensions until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to LIBOR Credit Extensions in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.
(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including any interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Credit Extensions and any loss, expense or liability incurred by Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) such that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Bank or due to any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Credit Extensions due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(e) and 3.7(f)) a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Credit Extension does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or (ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its LIBOR Credit Extensions occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Credit Extension.
(d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Credit Extensions. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.7 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Credit Extensions through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Credit Extension and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Credit Extensions in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.7.
(e) LIBOR Credit Extensions After Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have a Credit Extension be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Credit Extension after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Credit Extension and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue LIBOR Credit Extensions referred to therein as Prime Rate Credit Extensions.
-8-
3.7 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Credit Extensions.
(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Credit Extension prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Credit Extension, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower’s account officer at Bank and, on demand by Bank, pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the offshore currency markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion. Bank’s determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Credit Extensions 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:
(1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Credit Extensions (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);
(2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any LIBOR Credit Extensions or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or
(3) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
(c) Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 3.7. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make LIBOR Credit Extensions, of making or maintaining LIBOR Credit Extensions, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of LIBOR Credit Extensions, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7, Borrower shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that Bank notifies Borrower of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
(d) If 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 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 policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(d) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Credit Extensions for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending LIBOR
-9-
Credit Extensions, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Credit Extensions shall terminate; provided, however, Credit Extensions shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Credit Extensions.
(f) If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Credit Extensions, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Credit Extensions in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Credit Extension then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Credit Extension or to have outstanding Credit Extensions converted into or continued as Prime Rate Credit Extensions by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above.
| 4 | CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST |
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, for itself and as agent for each Secured Swap Provider, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, for itself and as agent for each Secured Swap Provider, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until (i) the Obligations (excluding inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash; and (ii) any Contingent Obligations (excluding inchoate indemnity obligations but including unmatured Obligations arising under Letters of Credit, FX Forward Contracts, Cash Management Services and Secured Rate Contracts) are secured with cash collateral in an amount and on terms set forth in this Agreement or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Bank and to each Secured Swap Provider (such event described in clauses (i) and (ii) being the “Payment in Full” of the Obligations). Upon Payment in Full of the Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.
4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank, for itself and as agent for each Secured Swap Provider, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.
4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect the interest or rights of Bank, for itself and as agent for each Secured Swap Provider, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral not permitted hereunder, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank and the Secured Swap Providers under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.
| 5 | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are duly existing and in good standing, if applicable, as Registered Organizations in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do
-10-
so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by Borrower, entitled “Perfection Certificate” (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement and any representations referring to the Perfection Certificate shall be deemed to refer to the Perfection Certificate as updated by such information). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number.
The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect), or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.
5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of Account Debtors.
The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate or as notified to Bank pursuant to Section 7.2. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.
Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Perfection Certificate. Each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.
Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, as of the Effective Date, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.
5.3 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in, when considered together with all such actions and proceedings, a Material Adverse Change.
-11-
5.4 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.
5.5 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.6 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than in compliance with applicable law in all material respects. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted, except to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on their respective businesses.
5.7 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower, except for taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions in an aggregate amount of less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a Permitted Lien. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
5.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general business requirements, including without limitation, Permitted Acquisitions and refinancing of existing indebtedness, and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.
5.10 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

6.1 Government Compliance. Except as permitted in Section 7.3, maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing (if applicable) in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations. Borrower shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.
6.2 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates. Deliver to Bank:

(g) Notice of Default or Legal Actions. Promptly, and in any event within 5 Business Days of Borrower’s knowledge thereof, notice of (i) any event or condition that constitutes an Event of Default, including a statement of the curative action that Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto, and (ii) any legal actions pending or threatened in writing against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, when considered together with all such actions and proceedings, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, including a report regarding the actions that Borrower or such Subsidiary is taking or intends to take with respect thereto; and

6.3 Intentionally omitted.
6.4 Taxes; Pensions. Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except for (a) deferred payment of any taxes contested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.8 hereof and (b) taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions in an aggregate amount of less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00).

6.5 Insurance. Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and location and as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank and shall provide that the insurer must give Bank at least twenty (20) days’ notice before canceling or declining to renew its policy (other than for non-payment of premium, in which case insurer must give Bank at least ten (10) days’ notice). All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. Borrower shall give Bank at least twenty (20) days’ notice before any of its property policies are cancelled or not renewed (other than for non-payment of premium, in which case Borrower must give Bank at least ten (10) days’ notice). At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable to Borrower or Bank under any policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.5 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank, Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent.

The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense, and the charge therefor shall be Eight Hundred Fifty Dollars ($850.00) per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person; (b) transactions among Borrower and its Subsidiaries and among Borrower’s Subsidiaries so long as no Event of Default exists or could result therefrom; (c) reasonable and customary director, officer and employee compensation and other benefits and indemnification arrangements; and (d) transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors.

Cure periods provided under this section shall not apply to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth in clause (a) above;

8.4 Attachment; Levy; Restraint on Business.

8.6 Other Agreements. There is, under any agreement to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties, any default resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount individually or in the aggregate in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00);
8.7 Judgments. One or more final judgments, orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such insurance carrier) shall be rendered against Borrower and the same are not, within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, discharged or execution thereof stayed or bonded pending appeal, or such judgments are not discharged prior to the expiration of any such stay (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the discharge, stay, or bonding of such judgment, order, or decree);
8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made; or

Any subordination, intercreditor or similar agreement with respect to any Subordinated Debt shall for any reason be revoked or invalidated or otherwise cease to be in full force and effect, any Person shall be in breach thereof or contest in any manner the validity or enforceability thereof or deny that it has any further liability or obligation thereunder, or the Obligations shall for any reason be subordinated or shall not have the priority contemplated by this Agreement.
| 9 | BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES |
9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank, for itself and as agent for each Secured Swap Provider, may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) declare all Loan Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Loan Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) for any Letters of Credit, (i) demand that Borrower deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the sum of (A) one hundred five percent (105.0%) of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, and (B) one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, for all such Letters of Credit remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Loan Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay
-18-
such amounts, (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit, and (iii) deposit with Bank, to hold as agent for the Secured Swap Providers, cash collateral in an amount determined by Bank and/or the Secured Swap Providers to be necessary to secure the unmatured obligations of Borrower under the Secured Rate Contracts, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts;
(d) terminate any FX Forward Contracts;
(e) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;
(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
(g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;
(i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
(j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until the Payment in Full of all Obligations and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Payment in Full of all Obligations and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Loan Obligations and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide
-19-
Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in the order specified in Section 2.5(c). Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank and to any Secured Swap Provider for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable to Borrower or any Secured Swap Provider or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default (except as expressly provided for herein), nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

| 11 | CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE |
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self- help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

| 12 | GENERAL PROVISIONS |
12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Warrant, as to which assignment, transfer and other such actions are governed by the terms of the Warrant).
12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank, any Secured Swap Provider and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any Secured Rate Contract; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank or Secured Swap Provider and Borrower contemplated by the Loan Documents or any Secured Rate Contract (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses or expenses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Rate Contracts.
12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
12.5 Correction of Loan Documents. With the written consent of Borrower, Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.
12.6 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no amendment, waiver or consent of this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the ratable treatment of the Secured Swap Obligations and resulting in such Secured Swap Obligations being junior in right of payment to principal on the Loan Obligations owing to Bank, or resulting in Secured Swap Obligations owing to any Secured Swap Provider becoming unsecured (other than releases and modifications of Liens permitted in accordance with the terms hereof), in each manner adverse to any Secured Swap Provider, shall be effective without the written consent of such Secured Swap Provider.
12.7 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, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.
12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and the Payment in Full of all Obligations. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.
-22-
12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
Bank Entities may use the confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analyses so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.10 Right of Set Off. Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a Bank subsidiary) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
12.11 Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
12.12 Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
12.13 Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
