THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of November 21, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation with a loan production office located at 275 Grove Street, Suite 2-200, Newton, Massachusetts 02466 (“Bank”), and MILLENNIAL MEDIA, 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 the existing loan arrangement Borrower has with Bank, as evidenced by that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2011, as amended by that certain Default Waiver and First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2013, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2013, as further amended by that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2013, and as further amended by that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2014 (the “Existing Loan Agreement”) (it being agreed that this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of the Obligations under, and as defined in, 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; 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.  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 to Borrower 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 accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Revolving Line upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to Bank so long as all Obligations have been paid in full (and Borrower has complied with Section 4.1with regard to Obligations in respect of Bank Services).

 

(c)                                  Voluntary Prepayment.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Advance in whole or in part, provided that Borrower shall notify the Bank by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail or facsimile) of any optional prepayment and (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Advance, not later than 11:00 a.m., San Francisco time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Prime Rate Advance, not later than 3:00 p.m., San Francisco time, on the date

 



 

of prepayment.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.6(c).

 

2.2                               Overadvances.  If, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of any Advances exceeds (i) during any Borrowing Base Period, the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base or (ii) if a Borrowing Base Period is not in effect, the Revolving Line, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”). Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay Bank any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

 

2.3                               Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

 

(a)                                 Interest; Payment.  Each Advance 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) for Prime Rate Advances, the Prime Rate plus the applicable Prime Rate Margin, and (ii) for LIBOR Advances, the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable LIBOR Rate Margin.  On and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Advance outstanding on the date of occurrence of an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations, the amount of such LIBOR Advance shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2.00%).  Pursuant to the terms hereof, interest on each Advance shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Advance pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Advance so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof.  All accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances shall be due and payable on the Revolving Line Maturity Date.

 

(b)                                 Prime Rate Advances.  Each change in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Advances based on changes in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of such change.

 

(c)                                  LIBOR Advances.  The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.5(a) hereunder.  Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Advance.

 

(d)                                 Computation of Interest.  Any interest hereunder will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days.  In computing interest on any Credit Extension, the date of the making of 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.  When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall by due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

 

(e)                                  Default Rate.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(b), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is two percentage points (2.0%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”).  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.3(e) 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.

 

(f)                                   Interest Payment Date.  Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable on each Interest Payment Date.

 

2.4                               Fees.  Borrower shall pay to Bank:

 

(a)                                 Commitment Fee.  A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the Revolving Line, on the Effective Date;

 

2



 

(b)                                 Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee.  Payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, 2015, on the first day of each calendar quarter occurring thereafter prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to one-fifth of one percent (0.20%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank.  The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar year basis and shall equal the difference between (i) the Revolving Line (as it may be reduced from time to time), and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding;

 

(c)                                  Bank Expenses.  All Bank Expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, promptly upon demand by Bank); and

 

(d)                                 Fees Fully Earned.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank, Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Bank pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder.  Bank may deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.4 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5(c).  Bank shall provide Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.4.

 

2.5                               Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.

 

(a)                                 All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. 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 has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied; provided that, so long as no Event of Default is in existence, Bank shall not apply any voluntary prepayment made by Borrower to any LIBOR Advances prior to the end of the Interest Period relating thereto without the consent or direction of Borrower.  Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Bank may debit Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due.  Bank shall endeavor to provide notice to Borrower prior to making any such debit, provided that failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability to Bank or diminish Bank’s rights under this Section 2.5(c).  These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

 

2.6                               Withholding.  Payments received by Bank from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto).  Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that Borrower shall not be required to make any payment to Bank (which term for purpose of this Section 2.6 shall include any assignee of Bank’s rights under Section 12.1 of this Agreement) pursuant to this sentence with respect to any withholding or deduction made for (i) a tax imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), franchise taxes, or branch profits taxes, in each case imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank is organized or where it has its principal office, or (ii) any U.S federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA.  Borrower will, upon request, furnish Bank

with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.  The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  If any assignee of Bank’s rights under Section 12.1 of this Agreement is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“Non-U.S. Lender”), such Non-U.S. Lender shall, upon becoming party to this Agreement, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower a complete and properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Lender hereunder if such Non-U.S. Lender fails or is unable to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence described in the preceding sentence, unless such non-U.S. Lender’s failure or inability to deliver such forms is the result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, or any change in the interpretation thereof after such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement.  In addition, if a payment made to Bank under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Bank shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

If Bank is able to apply for any refund in any taxes indemnified by Borrower in an amount which the Bank determines in its sole discretion to be material, which arises by reason of any payment made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6, then Bank will use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund and, upon receipt thereof, will pay to Borrower an amount, not exceeding the amount of such payment by Borrower, equal to the net after tax value to Bank (but only to the extent of payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund and net of all out-of-pocket expenses), of such part of such refund as it determines to be allocable to such payment by Borrower, having regard to all of its dealings giving rise to similar refunds during the same tax period and to the cost of obtaining the same; provided, however, that (a) Bank shall not be obligated to disclose to Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or computations, (b) nothing contained in this Section 2.6 shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of Bank to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate, and (c) in no event will the Bank be required to pay any amount hereunder, the payment of which would place the Bank in a less favorable after-tax position than the Bank would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed, and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid.

3.1                               Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension.  Bank’s obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, such documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation (it being understood that where signatures are required to be provided, such signatures may be in pdf form provided that original signature pages are delivered to Bank within two (2) Business Days of the Effective Date):

3.4                               Procedures for Borrowing.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in this Agreement, an Advance shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to Bank by electronic mail in the form of a Notice of Borrowing executed by an Authorized Signer or without instructions if any Advances is necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.  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 any LIBOR Advance, and (ii) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of a Prime Rate Advance, specifying:  (1) the amount of the Advance; (2) the requested Funding Date; (3) whether the Advance is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances or Prime Rate Advances; and (4) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Advances included in such notice; provided that if the Notice of Borrowing shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Advance comprised of LIBOR Advances, such Interest Period shall be one (1) month.  In addition to such Notice of Borrowing, during any Borrowing Base Period in connection with such request for an Advance, Borrower must promptly deliver to Bank by electronic mail a completed Borrowing Base Certificate (it being understood that the calculation of the Borrowing Base shall be as of the month then most recently ended for which reports and information necessary to determine the Borrowing Base for such month are available at the time such Notice of Borrowing is delivered) executed by an Authorized Signer together with accounts receivable aging reports and such other reports and information as Bank may reasonably request from time to time (such requests for other reports and information to be provided within two (2) Business Days of the delivery of the applicable Notice of Borrowing).

 

(b)                                 On the Funding Date, Bank shall credit proceeds of an Advance to the Designated Deposit Account and, subsequently, shall transfer such proceeds by wire transfer to such other account as Borrower may instruct in the Notice of Borrowing.  No Advances shall be deemed made to Borrower, and no interest shall accrue on any such Advance, until the related funds have been deposited in the applicable 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 Advances, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:

 

(1)                                 elect to convert on any Business Day, Prime Rate Advances into LIBOR Advances;

 

(2)                                 elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date; or

 

(3)                                 elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date into Prime Rate Advances.

 

(b)                                 Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation by electronic mail 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 Advances are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Advances; and (ii) on the Conversion Date, if any Advances are to be converted into Prime Rate Advances, in each case specifying the:

 

(1)                                 proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date;

 

(2)                                 aggregate amount of the Advances to be converted or continued;

 

6



 

(3)                                 nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and

 

(4)                                 if the resulting Advance is to be a LIBOR Advance, the duration of the requested Interest Period.

 

(c)                                  If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Advances, Borrower shall have timely failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Advances or request to convert a LIBOR Advance into a Prime Rate Advance, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected for any such Dollar Advances, to convert such LIBOR Advances into Prime Rate Advances.

 

3.6                               Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Advances.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Advances 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 Advances 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, absent manifest error, and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Advance, 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 Advance 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 Advances may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Advances 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 Advances 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.  If (i) for any reason, other than a default by Bank or any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Advances due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(c) and 3.7(d) of this Agreement, a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Advance 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) any complete or partial principal payment or reduction of a LIBOR Advance, or any conversion of any LIBOR Advance, occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that LIBOR Advance, including due to voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration, then, in each case, Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank, for all losses and expenses incurred by Bank in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of:

 

(1)                                 (A)                               the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount (1) not borrowed, converted or continued as provided in clause (i) above, or (2) paid, reduced or converted as provided in clause (ii) above, for the period from (y) the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, or the date of such payment, reduction or conversion as provided in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, to (z) in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, the last day of the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such borrowing, conversion or continuing but for such failure, and in the case of a payment, reduction or conversion prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Advance as provided in clause (ii) above, the last day of such Interest Period, in each case at the applicable rate of interest or other return for such LIBOR Advance(s) provided for herein (excluding, however, the LIBOR Rate Margin included therein, if any), over

 

7



 

(2)                                 (B)                               the interest which would have accrued to Bank on the applicable amount provided in clause (A) above through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, or the date of such payment, reduction or conversion as provided in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, for a period equal to the remaining period of such applicable Interest Period provided in clause (A) above.

 

Bank’s request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation and such determination as to such compensation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)                                 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Advances.  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 relevant LIBOR Advance 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 Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Advances in any manner it sees fit (and 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 Advances) 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 Advances After Default.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have an Advance be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall, at Bank’s option, be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Advances referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances.

 

3.7                               Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances.

 

(a)                                 Borrower shall pay Bank, within fifteen (15) days of written 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 Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

 

(i)                                     excluding taxes subject to Section 2.6,  changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Advances (other than changes which affect taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank is organized or in which Bank is deemed to be doing business on (or measured by) all or part of the net income, profits or gains (whether worldwide, or only insofar as such income, profits or gains are considered to arise in or to relate to a particular jurisdiction, or otherwise) of Bank);

 

(ii)                                  imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (except any Reserve Requirement to the extent reflected in the LIBOR Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any LIBOR Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or

 

(iii)                               imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

 

Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) 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(a).  Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7(a) of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make LIBOR Advances, of making or maintaining LIBOR Advances, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of LIBOR Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(b)                                 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 request 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 reasonably be expected to 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 five (5) 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(b) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder 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(b) for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) 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 nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the Borrower arising pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) shall survive the Revolving Line Maturity Date, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations.

 

(c)                                  If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Advances 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 the LIBOR Advances, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower.  Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Advances shall terminate; provided, however, LIBOR Advances shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances.

 

(d)                                 If it shall become unlawful for Bank (x) to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advances, or (y) to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay any LIBOR Advances 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 3.6(c)), or at the option of Bank, convert all LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Advance 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 Advance or to have outstanding Advances converted into or continued as Prime Rate Advances 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, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times the Collateral shall include all proceeds of all Intellectual Property (whether acquired upon the sale, lease, license, exchange or other disposition of such Intellectual Property) and all other rights arising out of Intellectual Property.

 

Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank.  Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens and Collateral not required to be perfected by the terms of the Loan Documents).

 

If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, cash collateralized obligations extending beyond the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) are repaid in full in cash, and Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, and at such time, Bank shall concurrently therewith, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, terminate the security interest in the Collateral and Bank shall (i) execute and deliver to Borrower all documents that the Borrower reasonably requests to evidence the release of the security interest in the Collateral and (ii) deliver to Borrower any stock certificates and other Collateral in Bank’s possession.  In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment consistent with Bank’s then current practice for Bank Services, if any, and Bank shall (i) execute and deliver to Borrower all documents that the Borrower reasonably requests to evidence the release of the security interest in the Collateral and (ii) deliver to Borrower any stock certificates and other Collateral in Bank’s possession.

 

10



 

In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then at least one hundred five percent (105.0%); and (y) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit 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.

 

4.2                               Priority of Security Interest.  Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that (i) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, (ii) when the Collateral constituting certificated securities are delivered to the Bank, together with instruments of transfer duly endorsed in blank, (iii) upon the execution and delivery of each of the Control Agreements required under Section 6.6 to be delivered, and (iv) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the applicable filing offices, 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 under this Agreement and Collateral not required to be perfected by the terms of the Loan Documents).  If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, (where the value of the claim is in excess of $250,000), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank 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 Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, not permitted hereby, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank 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.  Each Credit Party is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any other jurisdiction 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 have a material adverse effect on the Credit Parties’ business, taken as a whole.  In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by Borrower and Guarantor, entitled “Perfection Certificate”.  Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) each Credit Party’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) each Credit Party 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 each Credit Party’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Credit Party has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth each Credit Party’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as such Credit Party’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) each Credit Party (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 in all material respects (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 is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with such Credit Party’s organizational identification number, Bank hereby agrees that the Perfection Certificate shall be deemed to be updated to reflect information provided in any notice delivered by Borrower to Bank pursuant to the last full paragraph of Section 7.2 below.

 

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

 

11



 

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 (x) such Governmental Approvals which have been or substantially contemporaneously will be obtained or made and are (or will so be) in full force and effect, (y) filings necessary to perfect the Bank’s security interest in the Collateral, and (z) filings with the SEC), or (v) conflict with, contravene, constitute an event of default under or breach under, or result in or permit the termination or acceleration of, 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 result in a Material Adverse Change.

 

5.2                               Collateral.  Borrower has good title to, 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 Collateral Accounts at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates except for the Collateral Accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and, other than with respect to any Excluded Account, taken such actions as are required pursuant to the terms of Section 6.6(b) to give Bank a perfected security interest therein (and upon delivery of such notice and taking such action, the Perfection Certificate will be deemed to be updated with the information contained in such notice.  The Eligible Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the 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 permitted 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 all Intellectual Property which is material to its business, taken as a whole, and it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business and licenses that could not reasonably be expected to result in a legal transfer of title of the licensed property but that may be exclusive in respects other than territory and that may be exclusive as to territory only as to discreet geographical areas outside of the United States, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each Patent which a Credit Party owns or purports to own and which is material to the Credit Parties’ business, taken as a whole, is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which a Credit Party owns or purports to own and which is material to Credit Parties’ business, taken as a whole, 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 Credit Parties’ business, taken as a whole.

 

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.

 

5.3                               Accounts Receivable.  For any Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate, all statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing such Eligible Accounts are and shall be true and correct in all material respects and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all material respects what they purport to be.  Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may, upon providing prior notice to the Borrower, notify any Account Debtor owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Eligible Account.  All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations.  Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Certificate.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

12



 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, in the event of an Event of Default arising under Section 8.8 as a result of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.3 due to the inclusion of a particular Eligible Account(s) in the Borrowing Base at any particular time of reference, if such Event of Default is capable of being cured solely by the exclusion of such Eligible Account(s) from the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall be permitted a period not to exceed two (2) Business Days from the occurrence of such Event of Default (as applicable) to remove such Eligible Account(s) from the Borrowing Base by delivering a new Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer evidencing the removal of such Eligible Account(s) from the Borrowing Base and paying to Bank any overadvance which may then exist.

 

5.4                               Litigation.  Except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate or otherwise disclosed to Bank in writing, 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 which could reasonably be expected to result in liability of more than, individually or in the aggregate, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

 

5.5                               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 covered thereby, subject to normal year end audit adjustments and the absence of certain footnotes in the case of the company prepared consolidating balance sheets and income statements made as of the last day of each quarter delivered prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to Section 6.2(c) .  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.

 

5.6                               Solvency.  The fair saleable value of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs), taken as a whole, exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be able to pay their 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).  Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with all material Requirements of Law, and (b) has not violated any Requirements of Law the violation of which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.  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 legally, except for violations which could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in any liability in excess of $100,000.  Each Credit Party has obtained all material 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; Investments.  Borrower does not own any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

 

5.9                               Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions.  Each Credit Party has timely filed or has obtained extensions for filing all federal, state and other material tax returns and reports, and each Credit Party has timely paid all federal, state and other material taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by such Credit Party.  The Credit Parties may defer payment of any contested taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay such taxes, assessments, deposits or contributions by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) if such contested amount is in excess of $100,000, 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 reasonably be expect to result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower in an amount greater than $250,000 except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Effective Date.  Borrower has paid in all material respects all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans

 

13



 

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 material liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

 

5.10                        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 Investments) and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

 

5.11                        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 were prepared in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions at the time provided are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may materially differ from the projected or forecasted results).

 

5.12                        Definition ofKnowledge”.  For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of the Responsible Officers.

 

6.                                      AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

(a)                                 Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each other jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Credit Parties’ business or operations, taken as a whole.  Borrower shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, to the extent, noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(b)                                 To the extent not already disclosed in writing to Bank, if after the Effective Date any Credit Party (i) obtains any US registered Patent, US registered Trademark, US registered Copyright, US registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner, licensee or otherwise, or (ii) applies for any US Patent or the US registration of any Trademark, then Borrower shall provide prompt written notice thereof on each Quarterly Reporting Date (commencing with the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2014) in the Compliance Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(d) (if required to be delivered) hereof to Bank (and if no Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered, in a separate report delivered to Bank on the applicable Quarterly Reporting Date), and on a quarterly basis (commencing with the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2014) shall execute such intellectual property security agreements and other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in such property.  If any Credit Party decides to register any Copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower shall: (x) provide Bank with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of such Credit Party’s intent to register such Copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in the Copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the Copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office.  Borrower shall promptly provide to Bank in accordance with the requirements of this Section 6.8(b) copies of all applications that any Credit Party files for US Patents or for the US registration of Trademarks, Copyrights or mask works, together with evidence of the recording of the intellectual property security agreement required for Bank to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in such property.

 

(c)                                  Provide written notice to Bank within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public).  Borrower shall take such reasonable steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

6.11                        Formation or Acquisition of Subsidiaries.  Promptly after (but in any event within 30 days) the Borrower or any Guarantor forms any direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary or acquires any direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary, in each case other than an Immaterial Subsidiary, after the Effective Date, Borrower or such Guarantor shall (a) cause such new Domestic Subsidiary to provide to Bank a Guaranty, (b) provide to Bank appropriate certificates and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Domestic Subsidiary, reasonably required by Bank, and (c) provide to Bank all other documentation reasonably required by Bank and consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents (including such documents effective to grant to Bank a first priority perfected Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral owned by such Domestic Subsidiary) .  For each direct Foreign Subsidiary of Borrower or any Guarantor, Borrower or such Guarantor shall (x)(a) if such Foreign Subsidiary has assets in excess of $4,000,000, or (b) upon the request of Bank if such Foreign Subsidiary’s assets do not exceed $4,000,000, provide to Bank appropriate certificates and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such Foreign Subsidiary (provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the total outstanding voting capital stock of any such new Foreign Subsidiary be required to be pledged and no actions shall be required to perfect such pledge under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, and (y) provide to Bank all other documentation reasonably required by Bank and consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents.  Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be a Loan Document.

 

6.12                        Further Assurances.  Execute any further instruments and take further action as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue Bank’s Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement.  Deliver to Bank, within five (5) days after the same are sent or received, copies of all correspondence, reports, documents and other filings with any Governmental Authority regarding compliance with or maintenance of Governmental Approvals or Requirements of Law, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of the Credit Parties, taken as a whole.

(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, effective as of the date hereof but solely exercisable upon an Event of Default and solely during the continuation of such Event of Default, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, 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 intellectual 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, effective as of the date hereof and 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 as required under the Loan Documents regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, cash collateralized obligations extending beyond the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied in full 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 all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, cash collateralized obligations extending beyond the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

 

23



 

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 or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, 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.

 

9.4                               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 such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion.  Bank shall pay any surplus to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank 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 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, other than any loss, damage or diminution in value due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank.  Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral other than as set forth in the preceding sentence.

 

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.  Except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given herein, 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.

 

10.                               NOTICES

11.                               CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

 

New York 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 New York; provided, however, that if for any reason Bank cannot avail itself of such courts in the State of New York, Borrower accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Clara County, California; provided, further, 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 by 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

25



 

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 reasonable and documented 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 contemplated by the Loan Documents (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and documented expenses), except as to (a) or (b) for Claims and/or losses and/or Bank Expenses (x) caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (y) constituting amounts in respect of taxes not required to be indemnified pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6.

 

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

 

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.  Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as Bank provides Borrower with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) days to object to such correction.  In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by both Bank and Borrower.

 

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.

 

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 all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, cash collateralized obligations extending beyond the Revolving Line Maturity Date, 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 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.  Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the Lien created by the grant of a security interest by Borrower in Section 4.1 shall survive until the payment in full of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, cash collateralized obligations extending beyond the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement).

 

12.9                        Confidentiality.  In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information and Bank shall not disclose non-public information specifically designated by Borrower in writing as confidential to any Person, but, in each case, 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, that any prospective transferee or purchaser shall have entered into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as in this Section 12.9); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other

 

26



 

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 (including information designated by Borrower as such) does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Bank in violation of this Agreement), 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 prohibited 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                 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses.  In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Bank arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, Bank, subject to Section 12.2, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and other reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

 

12.12                 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.

 

12.13                 Captions.  The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

12.14                 Construction of Agreement.  The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement.  In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.

 

12.15                 Relationship.  The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement.  The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

 

12.16                 Third Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

 

12.17                 Acknowledgment of Prior Obligations and Continuation Thereof.  The Borrower (a) consents to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement by this Agreement; (b) acknowledges and agrees

 

27



 

that (i) the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) are owing to Bank, (ii) the prior grant or grants of security interests in favor of any of Bank in its properties and assets, under each “Loan Document” as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement (the “Original Loan Documents”) to which it is a party shall be in respect of the Obligations of such Person under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (c) reaffirms (i) all of the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) owing to Bank, and (ii) all prior or concurrent grants of security interests in favor of Bank under each Original Loan Document and each Loan Document; and (d) agrees that, except as expressly amended hereby or unless being amended and restated concurrently herewith, each of the Original Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect.  The Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all outstanding principal, interest and fees and other “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) under the Existing Loan Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date shall, to the extent not paid on the Effective Date, from and after the Effective Date, be, without duplication, Obligations owing and payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect from time to time, shall accrue interest thereon as specified in this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

 

12.19                 No Novation.  This Agreement does not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement or discharge or release the obligations or the liens or priority of any mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement, the other Original Loan Documents or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.  Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower or any Guarantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Existing Loan Agreement or any of the security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, guaranties or other loan documents executed in connection therewith.  The Borrower hereby (a) confirms and agrees that each Original Loan Document to which it is a party that is not being amended, amended and restated, or terminated concurrently herewith is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Effective Date, all references in any such Original Loan Document to “the Loan Agreement,” “thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Existing Loan Agreement shall mean the Existing Loan Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement; and (b) confirms and agrees that to the extent that any such Original Loan Document, which is not being amended, amended and restated, or terminated, purports to assign or pledge to any Secured Party a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for all or any portion of any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, as the case may be, from time to time existing in respect of the Existing Loan Agreement or the Original Loan Documents, such pledge or assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
