  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; provided that if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Bank shall so request, Borrower and Bank shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided, further, that, until so amended, (a) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) Borrower shall provide Bank financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial calculations (whether for pricing covenants, or otherwise) shall be made with regard to Borrower only and not on a consolidated basis. The term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings 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 together with any fees and Finance Charges as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Financing of Accounts

(a) Availability.

(i) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided that Borrower is not Streamline Facility Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible Accounts. Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance such Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Account. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account on a case by case basis upon notice to Borrower.

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided that Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance Eligible Accounts on an aggregate basis (the "Aggregate Eligible Accounts"). Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance Aggregate Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Aggregate Eligible Accounts. Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate and/or Borrowing Base for the Aggregate Eligible Accounts on a case by case basis upon notice to Borrower.

(iii) Any extension of credit made pursuant to the terms of subsections (i) or (ii) above shall hereinafter be referred to as an "Advance", and, collectively, the "Advances". When Bank makes an Advance, the Eligible Account or the Aggregate Eligible Accounts each become a separate "Financed Receivable".

(b) Maximum Advances; Sublimit.

(i) The aggregate face amount of all Financed Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding at any time may not exceed Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00), and (B) while Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, the aggregate amount of (1) Advances outstanding hereunder, plus (2) the Dollar Equivalent amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) issued pursuant to Section 2.1.2 that is not cash secured pursuant to Section 2.1.2, plus (3) the portion of the FX Reduction Amount based on FX Forward Contracts that is not cash secured pursuant to Section 2.1.3, plus (4) the sum of amounts utilized for Cash Management Services pursuant to Section 2.1.4 that are not cash secured pursuant to Section 2.1.4, may not exceed at any time the Availability Amount.

(iii) If, at any time, amounts outstanding exceed the amounts set forth in this Section 2.1.1(b), Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess amount, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any of its accounts maintained with Bank or any of Bank's Affiliates (other than accounts designated solely for, and used exclusively for, payroll) in connection therewith.

(c) Borrowing Procedure. Borrower will deliver an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C signed by a Responsible Officer for each Credit Extension it requests, accompanied by (i) an accounts receivable aging and a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, with respect to requests for Credit Extensions while Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, or (ii) by invoices, with respect to requests for Advances while Borrower is not Streamline Facility Eligible. Bank may rely on information set forth in or provided with the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal. In addition, upon Bank's request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank any contracts, purchase orders, or other underlying supporting documentation with respect to any Eligible Account or Aggregate Eligible Accounts.

(d) Credit Quality; Confirmations. Bank may, at its option, conduct a credit check of the Account Debtor for each Account requested by Borrower for financing hereunder to approve any such Account Debtor's credit before agreeing to finance such Account. Bank may also verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts (including confirmations of Borrower's representations in Section 5.3 of this Agreement) by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Bank from time to time in its sole discretion; provided, however, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank will notify Borrower prior to making any direct contact with Borrower's Account Debtors.

(e) Accounts Notification/Collection. Bank may notify any Account Debtor of Bank's security interest in the Borrower's Accounts and verify and/or collect them; provided, however, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank will notify Borrower prior to making any direct contact with Borrower's Account Debtors.

(f) Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately.

(g) Maturity. This Agreement shall terminate and all Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

(h) Suspension of Credit Extensions. Borrower's ability to request that Bank make Credit Extensions hereunder will terminate if, in Bank's good faith business discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations when due, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the Effective Date.

(i) End of Streamline Facility Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower ceases to be Streamline Facility Eligible, (i) all outstanding Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts shall be immediately due and payable, together with all Finance Charges accrued thereon, and (ii) all amounts outstanding and/or utilized pursuant to Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 that are not already cash secured pursuant to Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4, respectively, shall immediately be cash secured pursuant to the terms of Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and/or 2.1.4, as applicable. Provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, refinance the outstanding principal amount of such Advances with new Advances made based on specific Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof). In connection with same, Borrower shall deliver to Bank an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C containing detailed invoice reporting, signed by a Responsible Officer, together with a current accounts receivable aging and a copy of each invoice, all in accordance with Section 6.2(h) hereof and Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance same (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and each Eligible Account financed shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in connection with Advances made pursuant to Section 2.1.1 exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has agreed to make based on specific Eligible Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank's Affiliates (other than accounts designated solely for, and used exclusively for, payroll) for the amount of such excess.

(j) Commencement of Streamline Facility Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower becomes Streamline Facility Eligible, all outstanding Advances made based on Eligible Accounts shall be immediately due and payable, together with all Finance Charges and Collateral Handling Fees accrued thereon. Provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, refinance such Advances with new Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof). In connection with such request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank (i) an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C containing a current accounts receivable aging, and (ii) a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, and Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, refinance the outstanding principal amount of such Advances with new Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and the Aggregate Eligible Accounts financed shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in connection with Advances made pursuant to Section 2.1.1 exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has agreed to make based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank's Affiliates (other than accounts designated solely for, and used exclusively for, payroll) for the amount of such excess.

2.1.2 Letters of Credit.

(a) For so long as Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, upon Borrower's request, Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, issue or have issued Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency for Borrower's account. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letters of Credit Reserve) may not exceed the amounts set forth in Section 2.1.1(b) above. Any such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder, to the extent not cash secured as set forth herein, shall reduce the amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions hereunder. If, on the Maturity Date, and immediately when Borrower is no longer Streamline Facility Eligible, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (i) with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, one hundred and five percent (105.0%), and (ii) with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith

 

3


(as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. After Borrower ceases to be Streamline Facility Eligible, Borrower shall continue to maintain such cash collateral as contemplated by the prior sentence until Bank agrees in writing otherwise, in its sole and absolute discretion (and regardless of whether Borrower subsequently becomes Streamline Facility Eligible). 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 guaranteed by Bank and opened for Borrower's account or by Bank's interpretations of any Letters 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, except for errors or mistakes directly resulting from Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) 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.

(c) 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 Letters of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency.

(d) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letters of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the "Letter of Credit Reserve") in an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Letters 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.

(e) Borrower shall pay 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.

2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. For so long as Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, upon Borrower's request, Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, permit Borrower to use a portion of its availability hereunder (which amount is set forth in Section 2.1.1(b)) to 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 amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions hereunder 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 be treated as Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances made based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts. If, on the Maturity Date, and immediately when Borrower is no longer Streamline Facility Eligible, there are any outstanding FX Forward Contracts, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount consistent with Bank's current foreign exchange contracts policies to secure all of the Obligations relating to such FX Forward Contracts. After Borrower ceases to be Streamline Facility Eligible, Borrower shall continue to maintain such cash collateral as contemplated by the prior sentence until Bank agrees in writing otherwise, in its sole and absolute discretion (and regardless of whether Borrower subsequently becomes Streamline Facility Eligible).

2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit. For so long as Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, upon Borrower's request, Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, permit Borrower to use a portion of its availability hereunder (which amount is set forth in Section 2.1.1(b)) 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 shall reduce the amount otherwise

available for Credit Extensions hereunder. If, on the Maturity Date, and immediately when Borrower is no longer Streamline Facility Eligible, there are any outstanding Cash Management Services, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount consistent with Bank's current cash management services policies to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Cash Management Services. After Borrower ceases to be Streamline Facility Eligible, Borrower shall continue to maintain such cash collateral as contemplated by the prior sentence until Bank agrees in writing otherwise, in its sole and absolute discretion (and regardless of whether Borrower subsequently becomes Streamline Facility Eligible).

2.2 Collections, Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees. The Obligations shall be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Unpaid fees and Finance Charges may, in Bank's discretion, accrue interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations.

2.3 Collections. Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivable Balance for such Financed Receivable, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply Collections to the Obligations in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a payment for both a Financed Receivable and a non-Financed Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is no Event of Default then existing, the excess will be remitted to Borrower, subject to Section 2.9 of this Agreement.

2.4 Loan Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable loan fee of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) is due upon the Effective Date (the "Loan Fee").

2.5 Finance Charges. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of the Obligations on the day of receipt of the Collections. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the "Finance Charge") on the Financed Receivable Balance or Account Balance (as applicable) which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding multiplied by (a) with respect to Financed Receivables based on Eligible Accounts, the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance of such Financed Receivable, and (b) with respect to Financed Receivables based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts, the outstanding Account Balance. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1.1(i), Section 2.1.1(j) and/or Section 2.11.1(b)(i), the Finance Charge is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is due and payable in accordance with Section 2.11 of this Agreement. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate will increase to the Default Rate.

2.6 Collateral Handling Fee. With respect to Financed Receivables based upon Eligible Accounts, Borrower will pay to Bank a collateral handling fee equal to 0.10% per Reconciliation Period of the Financed Receivable Balance for each such Financed Receivable outstanding based upon a 360 day year (the "Collateral Handling Fee"). The Collateral Handling Fee is charged on a daily basis and is equal to the Collateral Handling Fee divided by 30, multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding, multiplied by the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1.1(j), the Collateral Handling Fee is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is payable in accordance with Section 2.11 of this Agreement. In computing Collateral Handling Fees under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of Obligations on the day of receipt of the Collections. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional 0.50%.

2.7 Accounting. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide Borrower with an accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, Collateral Handling Fees, and the Loan Fee. If Borrower does not object to the accounting in writing within thirty (30) days it shall be considered accurate. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees are calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.

2.8 Deductions. Bank may deduct fees, Bank Expenses, Finance Charges, Advances which become due pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Agreement, and other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement from any Credit Extensions made or Collections received by Bank.

2.9 Lockbox; Account Collection Services

(a) Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor (and each depository institution where proceeds of Accounts are on deposit) to remit payments with respect to the Accounts to a lockbox account established with Bank or to wire transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls (collectively, the "Lockbox"). It will be considered an immediate Event of Default if the Lockbox is not established and operational on the Effective Date and at all times thereafter until such Lockbox is established and operational.

(b) Upon receipt by Borrower of any proceeds of Accounts, Borrower shall immediately transfer and deliver same to Bank, along with a detailed cash receipts journal.

(c) Provided no Event of Default exists or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within three (3) days of receipt of such amounts by Bank, Bank will turn over to Borrower the proceeds of the Accounts (whether received by Bank in the Lockbox, directly from Borrower, or otherwise) other than Collections with respect to Financed Receivables based upon Eligible Accounts and the amount of Collections in excess of the amounts for which Bank has made an Advance to Borrower based upon Eligible Accounts, which amounts shall be used to repay the applicable outstanding Advance(s) and any other amounts due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, the Loan Fee, Collateral Handling Fee, and Bank Expenses; provided, however, Bank may hold any proceeds of the Accounts (whether received by Bank in the Lockbox, directly from Borrower, or otherwise and whether or not in respect of Financed Receivables) as a reserve until the end of the applicable Reconciliation Period if Bank, in its discretion, determines that other Financed Receivable(s) may no longer qualify as an Eligible Account or Aggregate Eligible Accounts at any time prior to the end of the subject Reconciliation Period.

(d) This Section 2.9 does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein. All Accounts and the proceeds thereof are Collateral, and if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Bank may, without notice, apply the proceeds of such Accounts to the Obligations.

2.10 Bank Expenses. Borrower shall pay all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

2.11 Repayment of Obligations; Adjustments

(a) Borrower will repay each Advance made based upon a specific Eligible Account on the earliest of: (i) the date on which payment is received of the Financed Receivable with respect to which the Advance was made, (ii) the date on which the Financed Receivable is no longer an Eligible Account, (iii) the date on which any Adjustment is asserted to the Financed Receivable (but only to the extent of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable otherwise remains an Eligible Account), (iv) the date on which there is a breach of any warranty or representation set forth in Section 5.3 with respect to such Financed Receivable, (v) as required pursuant to Section 2.1.1(j), or (vi) the Maturity Date (including any early termination). Each payment will also include all accrued Finance Charges and Collateral Handling Fees with respect to such Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

(b) With respect to each Advance made based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts:

(i) Borrower shall pay to Bank, on the first day of each Reconciliation Period, all accrued Finance Charges on the Advances made based upon the Aggregate Eligible Accounts; and

(ii) Borrower will pay the principal amount of the Advances made based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts on the earliest of: (A) the date on which the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances made based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts, plus the Dollar Equivalent amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) issued pursuant to Section 2.1.2 that is not cash secured pursuant to Section 2.1.2, plus the portion of the FX Reduction Amount based on FX Forward Contracts that is not cash secured pursuant to

Section 2.1.3, plus the sum of amounts utilized for Cash Management Services pursuant to Section 2.1.4 that are not cash secured pursuant to Section 2.1.4, exceeds the Availability Amount (but only up to the amount exceeding the Availability Amount), (B) the Maturity Date (including any early termination), or (C) as required pursuant to Section 2.1.1(i). Each payment will also include all accrued Finance Charges with respect to such Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

The demand may, at Bank's option, include any and all Credit Extensions, and all accrued Finance Charges, interest, Collateral Handling Fees, Bank Expenses and any other Obligations.

2.11.3 Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts (other than accounts designated solely for, and used exclusively for, payroll) for payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank hereunder. Bank shall promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower's accounts. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

2.12 Power of Attorney. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its successors and assigns as attorney-in-fact and authorizes Bank and its successor and assigns, to: (a) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, compromise, or discharge all or any part of the Financed Receivables; (ii) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case or proceeding about the Financed Receivables, including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Bank's or Borrower's name, as Bank chooses; and (iii) prepare, file and sign Borrower's name on any notice, claim, assignment, demand, draft, or notice of or satisfaction of lien or mechanics' lien or similar document; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) notify all Account Debtors to pay Bank directly; provided, however, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank will notify Borrower prior to making any direct contact with an Account Debtor of Borrower; (ii) receive, open, and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower; (iii) endorse Borrower's name on checks or other instruments (to the extent necessary to pay amounts owed pursuant to any of the Loan Documents); and (iv) execute on Borrower's behalf any instruments, documents, financing statements to perfect Bank's interests in the Financed Receivables and Collateral and do all acts and things necessary or prudent, as determined solely and exclusively by Bank, to protect or preserve, Bank's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, as directed by Bank.

Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are duly existing and in good standing as Registered Organizations in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any other jurisdiction in which the conduct of their respective business or ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business.

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, corporate structure, organizational 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). 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 by Borrower 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. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral valued in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (in the aggregate for all such Collateral at all locations) are currently being maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement.

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, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.

(h) Borrower has not filed or had filed against it Insolvency Proceedings and does not anticipate any filing;

5.4 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.5 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements and Deterioration in Financial Condition. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and its Subsidiary delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower's consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results of operations as of the date thereof.

5.6 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.

5.7 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). 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 complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets have been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. 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.

5.8 Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower and each Subsidiary have timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower and each Subsidiary have timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower and each Subsidiary. 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 and (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.

5.10 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank in connection with the Loan Documents, 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 in light of the circumstances in which they were made (it being recognized by Bank that any 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).

The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower's expense.

Make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all foreign, federal, state, and local taxes or assessments (other than taxes and assessments which Borrower is contesting in good faith, with adequate reserves maintained in accordance with GAAP) and will deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments.

6.4 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.

If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.4 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 6.4, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent.

6.5 Accounts

  9 BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies. When an Event of Default occurs and continues beyond any applicable grace period Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following to the extent not prohibited by applicable law:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 of this Agreement occurs, all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c) demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to (i) one hundred five percent (105.0%) of the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, and (ii) one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, 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 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 such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;

(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 and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such account. Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

 

17


(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates that is reasonably convenient to Bank and Borrower. Bank may peaceably 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 by Borrower, 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 9.1, 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 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.4 of this Agreement 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 Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide 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.

9.3 Bank's Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with applicable law and reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable 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.

9.4 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.

9.5 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

  11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE and JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts; 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, or subsequently provided to Borrower in accordance with, 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.

 

19


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.


  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.

12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its 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; 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 and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3 Right of Set-Off. Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest and right of setoff 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 Obligations of Borrower then due 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.

12.4 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.5 Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

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

12.7 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.

12.8 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.

12.9 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 of this Agreement to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

12.10 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, each a "Bank Entity" and collectively, the "Bank Entities"); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use its best efforts to obtain any prospective transferee's or purchaser's agreement to the terms of this Section 12.10); (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: (i) either in the public domain other than as a result of Bank's breach of this Section 12.10 or is in Bank's possession when disclosed to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party on a nonconfidential basis 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 prohibited by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

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.

The correct amount is on the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal and is not disputed;

Payment is not contingent on any obligation or contract and Borrower has fulfilled all its obligations as of the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal date;

Each Financed Receivable is based on an actual sale and delivery of goods and/or services rendered, is due to Borrower, is not past due or in default, has not been previously sold, assigned, transferred, or pledged and is free of any liens, security interests and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens;

There are no defenses, offsets, counterclaims or agreements for which the Account Debtor may claim any deduction or discount;

Additionally, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

  3 The Loan Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following new Section 2.1.5, appearing immediately after Section 2.1.4 thereof:

  2.1.5 Term Advances.

(a) Availability. On the 2011 Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower shall request and Bank shall make one (1) term loan in an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). During the Draw Period, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon Borrower's request Bank shall make up to two (2) term loans in an aggregate amount not exceeding Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). Any term loan made pursuant to this Section 2.1.5(a) is hereinafter referred to, singly, as a "Term Advance" and, collectively, as the "Term Advances".

(b) Interest Payments. Commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date following the Funding Date for each Term Advance (or commencing on the Funding Date if the Funding Date is the first (1st) calendar day of the month), and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest, in arrears, on the principal amount of each Term Advance at the rate set forth in Section 2.1.5(d).

(c) Repayment. Commencing on the Amortization Date for each Term Advance, and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall repay each Term Advance in (i) thirty six (36) equal monthly installments of principal, plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.1.5(d) (each, a "Term Advance Payment"). Borrower's final Term Advance Payment for each respective Term Advance, due on the applicable Term Advance Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal, all accrued and unpaid interest under with respect to such Term Advance and the Final Payment for such Term Advance. Once repaid, no Term Advance (or any portion thereof) may be reborrowed.

(d) Interest.

(i) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.1.5(d)(ii), the principal amount for each Term Advance shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to seven percent (7.00%) above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly.

 

2


(ii) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations in connection with the Term Advances shall bear interest at 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 Obligations pursuant to Section 2.1.5(d)(i). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.1.5(d)(ii) 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.

(iii) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate applicable to the Term Advances based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.

(iv) Computation; 360-Day Year. In computing interest, the date of the making of any Term Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Term Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Term Advance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(v) Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first Business Day of each calendar month.

(e) Final Payment. Borrower shall pay to Bank the Final Payment with respect to each Term Advance, when due hereunder.

(f) Borrowing Procedure. Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of a Term Advance set forth in this Agreement, to obtain a Term Advance, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone by 12:00 noon Eastern time on the Funding Date of the Term Advance. Together with any such electronic or facsimile notification, Borrower shall deliver to Bank by electronic mail or facsimile a completed Payment/Advance Form executed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Bank shall credit Term Advances to an account of Borrower with Bank. Bank may make Term Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Term Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due."
