Exhibit 10.1

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the Effective
Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and SABA
SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which
Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as
follows:

1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following
GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth
in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise
indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms
are defined therein.

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the
outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid
interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to
deduction of reserves (including but not limited to the Letter of Credit Reserve
and the FX Reserve), Bank will make Advances to Borrower up to an amount (“Net
Borrowing Availability”) not to exceed the lesser of (a) the Revolving Line; or
(b) amounts available under the Borrowing Base. Amounts borrowed under this
Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line
Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest
thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be
immediately due and payable.

2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.

(a) As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of
Credit for Borrower’s account. The face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit
(including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit
Reserve) may not exceed: (a) the Net Borrowing Availability minus the sum of
(i) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services
Sublimit, (ii) the FX Reserve, and (iii) the sum of the outstanding principal
balance of the Advances; and (b) $5,000,000 minus the sum of (i) all amounts for
services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit and (ii) the FX
Reserve. Such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall at all times reduce the
amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line. If, on the
Revolving Line Maturity Date, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then
on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal
to 105% 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 said Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and
substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit
Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”). Borrower agrees to execute any
further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may
reasonably request. If there is any conflict between the terms of the Loan
Documents and terms of the Letter of Credit Application and such other
documentation, the terms of the Loan Documentation shall control. Borrower
further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer
of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or
by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s
account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for
any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in
following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or
any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.

(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 Letter 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 Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a
reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount
equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The
amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time
to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds
under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit
Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. As part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may
enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to
purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX
Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”). FX Forward
Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after
the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each
outstanding FX Forward Contract, the maximum aggregate amount of which reserve
may not exceed $5,000,000 minus the sum of (a) all amounts for services utilized
under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, and (b) the amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
Credit) (the “FX Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any
one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. The FX
Reserve may not exceed the Availability Amount (but without including the FX
Reserve in the calculation thereof).

2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit. Borrower may use up to $5,000,000 minus
the sum of (a) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn
but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (b) the FX Reserve (the “Cash
Management Services Sublimit”) of the Revolving Line for Bank’s cash management
services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll,
business credit card, automated clearing house transactions, controlled
disbursement accounts, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various
cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management
Services”); provided that in no event shall the Cash Management Services
Sublimit exceed the Availability Amount (but without including amounts for
services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit in the calculation
thereof). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are
not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as
Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate
applicable to Advances.

2.1.5 Term Loan.

(a) Availability. Bank shall make one (1) term loan available to Borrower in an
amount up to the Term Loan Amount on the Effective Date subject to the
satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Application of Term Loan. The Term Loan shall be used to repay in full the
Prior Loans. For administrative convenience, Bank may credit the Prior Loans
against the amount of the Term Loan to be made available by Bank hereunder. Any
excess of the Term Loan after repayment of the Prior Loans shall be disbursed to
Borrower, which Borrower shall use in accordance with Section 5.10 hereof.

(c) Repayment. Borrower shall repay the Term Loan in thirty-six (36) equal
monthly installments of principal, plus interest (the “Term Loan Payment”).
Beginning the month following the month in which the Funding Date of the Term
Loan occurs (or in the case where such Funding Date occurs on the last day of
the month, beginning the second month thereafter) each Term Loan Payment shall
be payable on the first day of each month; Borrower’s final Term Loan Payment,
due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and
accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan. Borrower may not re-borrow any
amount of the Term Loan that is repaid hereunder. Borrower may prepay amounts
due and owing under the Term Loan at any time and from time to time without
premium or penalty except as set forth in Section 4.1 hereof.

2.2 Overadvances. If at any time or for any reason the total of all outstanding
Advances and all other monetary Obligations under Section 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4
exceeds Net Borrowing Availability (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall
immediately pay the amount of the excess to Bank, without notice or demand.
Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay to Bank the amount of any
Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of
any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

 

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest Rate; Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the amounts outstanding
under the (i) Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to
one quarter of one percentage point (0.25) above the Prime Rate, and (ii) Term
Loan shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to one half of one
percentage point (0.50) above the Prime Rate, which interest in each case shall
be payable monthly.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which
is five percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the Event
of Default (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest
rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) 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.

(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit
Extension 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.

(d) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for
the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Debit of Accounts. In accordance with Section 9.4, Bank may debit any of
Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for
principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when
due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

(f) Payment; Interest Computation; Float Charge. Interest is payable monthly on
the first calendar day of each month. In computing interest on the Obligations,
all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed
received on the next Business Day. In addition, so long as any principal or
interest with respect to any Advances remains outstanding, Bank shall be
entitled to charge Borrower a “float” charge in an amount equal to three
(3) Business Days interest, at the interest rate applicable to the Advances, on
all payments received by Bank with respect to the Advances (except for payments
made directly by Borrower to Bank from Borrower’s unrestricted cash on deposit
in any deposit account or securities account of Borrower with Bank). The float
charge for each month shall be payable on the first day of the month. Bank shall
not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any
item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business
judgment, and Bank may charge Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account for the
amount of any item of payment which is returned to Bank unpaid.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank:

(a) Termination Fee. Subject to the terms of Section 4.1, a termination fee;

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or
renewal of Letters of Credit, upon the issuance or renewal of such Letter of
Credit by Bank;

(c) Collateral Monitoring Fee. A monthly collateral monitoring fee of $1,500.00,
payable in arrears on the first day of each month (prorated for any partial
month) and upon termination of this Agreement; and

(d) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
reasonable expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this
Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

executed Payment/Advance Form;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in Section 5

Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank each item required to be delivered to Bank
under this Agreement as a condition to any Credit Extension. Borrower expressly
agrees that the extension of a Credit Extension prior to the receipt by Bank of

Advances to the Designated Deposit Account. Bank may make Advances under this
Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her
designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet
Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given
by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee.

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.
Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted
herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected
security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may
have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall
acquire a commercial tort claim, 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.

This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by
Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination
is given to Bank or if Bank’s obligation to fund Credit Extensions terminates
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1(b). Notwithstanding any such termination,
Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until
Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations (other than inchoate Obligations). If
such termination is at Borrower’s election or at Bank’s election due to the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Bank,
in addition to the payment of any other expenses or fees then-owing, a
termination fee in an amount equal to (i) one percent (1%) of the sum of the
Revolving Line and the Term Loan if such termination occurs prior to the first
anniversary of the Effective Date; or (ii) one half of one percent (0.50%) of
the sum of the Revolving Line and the Term Loan if such termination occurs
between the first and second anniversary of the Effective Date; provided,
however, that if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no
termination fee shall be charged unless the credit facility hereunder is
refinanced, replaced or repaid in full with funds from a bank or other financial
institution other than another division of Silicon Valley Bank. Upon payment in
full of the Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit
Extensions has terminated, Bank shall release its liens and security interests
in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

4.2 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, by either Borrower or
any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

    Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
are duly existing and in good standing in their respective jurisdictions of
formation, and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good
standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their
ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered
to Bank completed certificates substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F signed by Borrower, Centra, Spruce and each Guarantor (other than
Thinq which is covered by the Borrower’s Perfection Certificate), respectively,
entitled “Perfection Certificate”. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that
(a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on its 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 its Perfection Certificate;
(c) the Borrower’s Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s
organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has
none; (d) the Borrower’s 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 state of formation, organizational structure or type, or any
organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other
information set forth on the Borrower’s Perfection Certificate pertaining to
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete. 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 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 it is a party or
by which it is bound in which the default could have a material adverse effect
on Borrower’s business.

5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except
Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit
accounts with Bank and deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate
delivered to Bank in connection herewith.

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a
warehouse). Except as hereafter disclosed to Bank in writing by Borrower, none
of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than
(a) as provided in the Perfection Certificate, or (b) such locations where not
more than $25,000 of Collateral (at any one location) is kept. In the event that
Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any
portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the
written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the
bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank.

All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free
from material defects.

5.3 Accounts Receivable.

(a) For each Account with respect to which Advances are requested, on the date
each Advance is requested and made, such Account shall be an Eligible Account as
set forth in Section 13 below.

(b) All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices,
instruments and other documents evidencing the 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 respects
what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving
rise to each 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 Transaction Report. To the best of Borrower’s
knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and
agreements relating to all Accounts are genuine, and all such documents,
instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their
terms.

5.4 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending against Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries involving more than $500,000, and there are no actions
or proceedings, to the knowledge of any of the Borrower’s Responsible Officers
or its general counsel, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Change.

 

-6-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.5 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements. 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. 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 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.
Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit
for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of
Governors). 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 have a material adverse
effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’
properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best
of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing,
treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than 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 government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as
currently conducted, except where failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. 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 has timely filed
all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign,
federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by
Borrower. Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that
Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by
appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted,
(b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material
development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps
required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from
obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted
Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of
Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due
and payable by Borrower, other than taxes that may become payable in an amount
not exceeding $350,000 as a result of a current tax audit in France for which
adequate reserves have been established. 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 (other than with respect to Centra in connection with the Centra
Acquisition), 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, other than liability of Borrower in an amount not
to exceed $350,000 in connection with the Centra Acquisition, for which adequate
reserves have been established if so required by GAAP.

5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Advances solely as
(i) working capital, and (ii) to fund its general business requirements,
including the Centra Acquisition. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used to
repay in full the Prior Loans (without penalty or premium on such Prior Loans),
and any excess of the Term Loan disbursed to Borrower shall be used solely for
those purposes set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence. Upon
repayment in full of the Prior Loans, the Prior Loan Agreements (other than any
UCC financing statements, Control Agreements, or any pledged securities) shall
terminate.

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 representations, warranties, or other statements were made, taken together
with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or
statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and
forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable
assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected
or forecasted results).

or other financial information used in the preparation of such financial
projections reasonably requested by Bank.

(v) as soon as available, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days

available through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR system).

(b) Within 5 Business Days after the end of each week, Borrower shall provide
Bank with a Transaction Report, unless Borrower has exercised a Monthly
Reporting Option (as defined below).

(c) A “Monthly Reporting Option” is the option of Borrower to provide Bank with
a Transaction Report on a monthly basis, within 20 days after the end of each
month, instead of on a weekly basis under Section 6.2(b), which option shall be
available automatically to Borrower without notice to Bank if Borrower

 

-8-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) maintains the Minimum Liquidity Amount, and (b) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; provided that (i) if the Monthly Reporting Option is
in effect and (A) the Minimum Liquidity Amount ceases to exist at any time for a
period of five (5) consecutive days or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, then such Monthly Reporting Option shall immediately terminate
and the reporting requirement for a Transaction Report shall immediately revert
back to the previous reporting arrangement under this Agreement without any
notice from Bank to Borrower (the “Reporting Option Termination”); and (ii) if a
Reporting Option Termination arises solely because Borrower failed to maintain
the Minimum Liquidity Amount for a period of five (5) consecutive days, then
Borrower shall be eligible for another Monthly Reporting Option (as described
herein) at such time that Borrower has provided Bank (to Bank’s satisfaction)
Transaction Reports showing eight (8) consecutive weeks of Borrower maintaining
the Minimum Liquidity Amount. Regardless of whether a Monthly Reporting Option
is in effect, Borrower shall continue to provide Bank with Transaction Reports
in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof.

(d) As soon as practicable, and in no event later than 60 days after the
Effective Date, Borrower shall deliver a report showing all purchase accounting
Deferred Revenue adjustments made by Borrower in connection with the Centra
Acquisition.

6.3 Accounts Receivable.

(a) Schedules and Documents Relating to Accounts. Borrower shall deliver to Bank
transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in Section 6.2, on
Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and
deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights in all
of the Accounts, nor shall Bank’s failure to advance or lend against a specific
Account affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights therein. If requested by
Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request, originals)
of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all
shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of
delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such
Accounts. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Bank, on its request, the
originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and
other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same
form as received, with all necessary indorsements, and copies of all credit
memos.

(b) Disputes. Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all disputes or claims
relating to Accounts that involve more than $150,000. Borrower may forgive
(completely or partially), compromise, or settle any Account for less than
payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing so long as (i) Borrower
does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary
course of business, in arm’s-length transactions, and reports the same to Bank
in the regular reports provided to Bank; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; and (iii) after taking into account all such
discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Advances will not
exceed the Net Borrowing Availability.

(c) Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall have the right (on its own behalf and
on behalf of Spruce, Thinq and any other Affiliate of Borrower as Bank may
designate from time to time) to collect all Accounts, unless and until a Default
or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Whether or not an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on,
and proceeds of, Accounts in trust for Bank. Such payments and proceeds shall be
applied to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof. Until
such further time as Bank directs pursuant to the last sentence hereof, all
proceeds of Accounts shall be deposited into the Restricted Revenue Account(s)
with Wells Fargo and shall be subject to the Wells Fargo Lockbox Agreement,
except that, in the case of Accounts of Spruce, the proceeds of such Accounts
are not required to be deposited into the Restricted Revenue Account(s) with
Wells Fargo until the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date. Subject
to the exception in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall (and shall cause
Spruce, Thinq and such other Affiliate as Bank may designate from time to time
to) direct all customers and Account Debtors of Borrower, Spruce, Thinq and/or
any other Affiliate of Borrower as Bank may designate to remit all payments
owing to such entities to the Restricted Revenue Account(s) with Wells Fargo
and/or such other Restricted Revenue Account(s) as Bank may specify from time to
time pursuant to the last sentence hereof. Borrower shall use its best efforts
to ensure that all collections of Accounts are paid and delivered into the
Restricted Revenue Account(s) with Wells Fargo and/or such other Restricted
Revenue Account(s) as Bank may specify from time to time pursuant to the last
sentence hereof. If an Event of Default has occurred, Bank may require that all
proceeds of Accounts be deposited into a Restricted Revenue Account other than,
or in addition to, the Restricted Revenue Account(s) with Wells Fargo pursuant
to a Lockbox Agreement in form and substance acceptable to Bank.

(d) Returns. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any
Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower, Spruce, Thinq, or such other
Affiliate of Borrower as Bank may designate from time to time, Borrower shall
follow Borrower’s customary practices as they exist at the execution of

 

-9-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Agreement. Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all returns and
recoveries that involve more than $500,000. In the event any attempted return
occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Borrower shall hold the returned Inventory in trust for Bank, and immediately
notify Bank of the return of the Inventory.

(e) Verification. Bank may, from time to time, verify directly with the
respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to
the Accounts, either in the name of Borrower, Spruce, Thinq, any other Affiliate
of Borrower as Bank may designate from time to time or Bank or such other name
as Bank may choose.

(f) No Liability. Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or
discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or
other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act,
omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle,
collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in
good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Bank be deemed to be
responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement
giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Bank from
liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.4 Remittance of Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.3(c), 6.7
and 9.4, deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any
Collateral to Bank in the original form in which received by Borrower not later
than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the
Obligations pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not
be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of the sale of Equipment disposed of
by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate
purchase price of $50,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal
year). Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with
any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate
and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Bank.
Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set
forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

6.5 Taxes; Pensions. Timely file all required tax returns and reports and timely
pay all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and
contributions owed by Borrower except for deferred payment of any taxes
contested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof, and pay all amounts
necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation
plans in accordance with their terms, except as permitted by Section 5.9 with
respect to Borrower’s liability in an amount not to exceed $350,000 in
connection with the Centra Acquisition, for which adequate reserves have been
established if so required by GAAP.

6.6 Access to Collateral; Books and Records.

(a) At reasonable times, on one (1) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Bank, or its
agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit
and copy Borrower’s Books, subject to Bank’s confidentiality obligations in
Section 12.9. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s
expense, and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per day (or such
higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the
same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, the “Borrower Audit
Fees”). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then
(i) such audits and inspections by Bank shall be performed only on a semi-annual
basis, and (ii) the Borrower Audit Fees, together with any and all Guarantor
Audit Fees, shall be limited in the aggregate amount of no more than $15,000 per
annum.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower and Bank schedule an
audit more than five (5) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to
reschedules the audit with less than five (5) days written notice to Bank, then
(without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Bank a
fee of $1,000 plus any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to
compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or
rescheduling.

6.7 Insurance. Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in
amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and location and as Bank
may reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be with financially sound and
reputable insurance companies. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss
payable endorsement showing Bank as an additional loss payee and waive
subrogation against Bank, and all liability policies shall show, or have
endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. All policies (or the loss
payable and

 

-10-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

additional insured endorsements) shall provide that the insurer must give Bank
at least thirty (30) days notice (or ten (10) days notice in the case of
cancellation for non-payment of premium) before canceling, materially amending,
or declining to renew its policy. At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver
certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. So long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option
of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy to the replacement or repair of
destroyed or damaged property; provided, that, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, proceeds payable under any policy shall,
at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. If Borrower
fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.7 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 6.7, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent.

6.8 Operating Accounts.

(a) Until the Revolving Line Maturity Date, Borrower will maintain an amount of
not less than $6,000,000 of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents in a deposit
account and/or money market account with Bank or a Bank Affiliate. If Borrower
fails to comply with the terms of this Section 6.8(a) at any time, Borrower
shall pay to Bank within three (3) days after the initial date such
non-compliance occurs, a one-time, non-refundable fee equal to the amount set
forth below for the period such non-compliance occurs (the “Deposit Fee”);
provided, however, once Borrower pays the Deposit Fee, Bank shall not require
Borrower to pay another such Deposit Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as Borrower pays the Deposit Fee
as and when due, Borrower’s failure to maintain an amount of not less than
$6,000,000 of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents in a deposit account and/or
money market account with Bank or a Bank Affiliate shall not be deemed an Event
of Default hereunder or a breach of this Section 6.8(a).

Thinq or such other Affiliate of Borrower as Bank may designate from time to
time establishes any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial

Account that Borrower, or such other Person mentioned in the preceding sentence,
at any time maintains, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial
institution (other than Bank) at or with which any such Collateral Account is
maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate
instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Bank’s Lien in
such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder. The provisions
of this Section 6.8(c) shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for
payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for
the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as such.

its Subsidiaries) as Borrower deems reasonably appropriate and consistent with
past practice (a) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability
of its and its Subsidiaries’ material intellectual property; and (b) not allow
any intellectual property material to Borrower’s and/or any of its Subsidiaries’
business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Bank’s
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower
shall promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements of its or any of
its Subsidiary’s intellectual property known by its Responsible Officers or its
general counsel;

6.11 Litigation Cooperation. From the date hereof and continuing through the
termination of this Agreement, make available to Bank, without expense to Bank,
Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s books and
records, to the extent that Bank may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute
or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Bank with
respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower.

interest on any Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other
Obligations within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and
payable. During the cure period, the failure to cure the payment default is not

period);

8.2 Covenant Default.

(a) Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.1(c),
6.2, 6.3(c) 6.7, 6.8, 6.9 or 6.12, or violates any covenant in Section 7; or

can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10) days after the
occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature
be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by
Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to
be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional period
(which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such
default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default
shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made
during such cure period). Grace periods provided under this section shall not
apply, among other things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set
forth in subsection (a) above;

8.3 Material Adverse Change. A Material Adverse Change occurs;

other claim in excess of $150,000 becomes a Lien on any of Borrower’s assets; or
(e) a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrower’s
assets by any government agency and not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower
receives notice. These are not Events of Default if stayed or if a bond is

as they become due or otherwise becomes insolvent; (b) Borrower begins an
Insolvency Proceeding; or (c) an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower
and not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days (but no Credit Extensions
shall be made while of any of the conditions described in clause (a) exist
and/or until any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);

8.6 Other Agreements. There is a default in any agreement to which Borrower or
any Guarantor is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by
such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the
maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or that could have a material adverse effect on
Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s business;

8.7 Judgments. A judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an amount,
individually or in the aggregate, of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000) (not covered by independent third-party insurance) shall be rendered
against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of ten
(10) days after the entry thereof (provided that no Credit Extensions will be
made prior to the satisfaction or stay of such judgment);

8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any
representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any
Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter

statement is incorrect in any material respect when made;

8.9 Subordinated Debt. A default or breach in any material respect occurs under
any agreement between Borrower and any creditor of Borrower that signed a
subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement with Bank, or any
creditor that has signed such an agreement with Bank breaches any terms of such
agreement; or

 

-14-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.10 Guaranty. (a) Any guaranty of any Obligations terminates or ceases for any
reason to be in full force and effect; (b) any Guarantor does not perform or
breaches any obligation, covenant, representation or warranty in any material
respect under any guaranty and/or security agreement relating to the
Obligations, or any Loan Document to which it is a party; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not excuse any Guarantor from timely performing all
obligations and covenants under such agreements; (d) any circumstance described

the collateral provided by Guarantor or in the value of such collateral or

occurs as a result of a transfer of such Guarantor’s cash and other assets
solely to Borrower.

9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank

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) deposits cash with Bank in an amount equal to the

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 Contracts;

Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and
verify the amount of such account;

(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to
protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower
shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank
designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security
interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter
and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights

-15-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents
or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including
disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful
attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other
forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of
lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust
disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for
amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust
all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any
Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the
Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to
terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name
of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as
its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary
to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of
whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations 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 have been fully repaid and performed and
Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by
Section 6.7 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 applicable rate, 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.

(a) Bank shall collect all funds held in the Restricted Revenue Account(s) on a
daily basis in accordance with the Wells Fargo Lockbox Agreement and/or such
other Lockbox Agreements then in effect (the “Lockbox Sweep”), and shall apply
such funds in a manner consistent with the terms of this Section 9.4 and
Section 2.3, unless a Static Balance Option (as defined below) is in effect.

(b) A “Static Balance Option” is the option of Borrower to have Bank suspend the
Lockbox Sweep, which option shall be available only when the Monthly Reporting
Option is available and in effect. If a Static Balance Option is in effect, then
Bank shall suspend the Lockbox Sweep in accordance with the terms of the Lockbox
Agreements, and Borrower shall have access to such Restricted Revenue Accounts.

(c) Subject to the provisions of subsection (a) above, Bank shall apply any
funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or
proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other
disposition of the Collateral, first, to the principal of the Term Loan then due
and the Advances; second, to Bank Expenses, including without limitation, the
reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees
incurred by Bank in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement; third, to
the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and finally, to any applicable
fees and other charges then due, in such order as Bank shall determine in its
sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower by credit to the
Designated Deposit Account or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower
shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.

(d) 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. Any surplus shall be paid to
Borrower by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to 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

 

-16-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. Borrower bears all risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to
require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank
thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No
waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank 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 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 for sections in this Agreement that expressly provide
for notice to Borrower, 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.

conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California;

 

-17-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to
preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other
jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the
Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.
Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any
action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any
objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper
venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal
or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby
waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in
such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and
other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower
at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so
made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual
receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper
postage prepaid.

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 Borrower, to sell, transfer, 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;
provided, however, that Bank shall notify Borrower promptly after any such sale,
transfer or grant of participations.

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 harmless against: (a) all obligations,
demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other
party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents;
and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses incurred, or paid by Bank from, following,
or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused
by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against
Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, attorneys, or any
other Person affiliated with or representing Bank based upon, arising from, or
relating to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any
other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to
be done by Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or
attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an
action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a
complaint within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which
such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of
a summons and complaint on an officer of Bank, or on any other person authorized
to accept service on behalf of Bank, within thirty (30) days thereafter.
Borrower agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time
for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The
one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except
by the written consent of Bank in its sole discretion. This provision shall
survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

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

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

-18-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 this Agreement and the Loan
Documents merge into this Agreement and 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, are 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 and any
other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this
Agreement) have been 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.

12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall
exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary
information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s
Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any
interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or
purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law,
regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise
required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; and (e) as Bank
considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement. Confidential
information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public
domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the
public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) is disclosed to Bank by a third
party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing
the information.

12.10 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between
Borrower and Bank arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and

which it may be entitled.
