AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”) dated as of December 18, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and among (a) SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and (b) HARMONIC INC., a Delaware corporation (“US Borrower”), and HARMONIC INTERNATIONAL AG, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (“Swiss Borrower”) (US Borrower and Swiss Borrower are hereinafter individually referred to as a “Borrower” and collectively as “Borrowers”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank.  The parties agree as follows:
A.      Bank and US Borrower have previously entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 27, 2017, between US Borrower and Bank (the “Prior Loan Agreement”).
B.     Borrowers and Bank have agreed to amend and restate, and replace, the Prior Loan Agreement in its entirety.  Bank and Borrowers hereby agree that the Prior Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
1ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.  Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP (except in the case of unaudited financial statements, for the absence of footnotes and subject to year-end audit adjustments); 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, Borrowers 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) Borrowers 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.  In addition, any obligations of a Person under a lease (whether existing now or entered into in the future) that is not (or would not be) a capital lease obligation under GAAP as in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall not be treated as a capital lease obligation solely as a result of the adoption of changes in GAAP).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all financial calculations shall be computed with respect to Borrowers only, and not on a consolidated basis.  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.
2LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1    Promise to Pay.  US 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.  Swiss Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions made to Swiss Borrower and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2    Revolving Line.
(a)    Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, upon the request of either Borrower, Bank shall make Advances to such Borrower not exceeding the US Borrower Availability Amount (for Advances requested by US Borrower) or the Swiss Borrower Availability Amount (for Advances requested by Swiss Borrower).  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.
2.3    Letters of Credit Sublimit.
(a)    As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency for a Borrower’s account.  The aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount utilized for the issuance of Letters of Credit shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line.  The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed (i) the lesser of (A) the Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances.
(b)    If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date (or the effective date of any termination of this Agreement), there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date the applicable Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to at least one hundred five percent (105.0%) for Letters of Credit issued in favor of such Borrower denominated in Dollars or at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%) for Letters of Credit issued in favor of such Borrower denominated in a Foreign Currency, in each case of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or estimated by Bank to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.  All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably 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”).  Each Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit requested by it as Bank may reasonably request.  Each Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guaranteed by Bank and opened for such Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for such Borrower’s account, and each Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following such Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.
(c)    The obligation of each Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.  
(d)    Each 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 such Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges).
(e)    To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to a percentage (which percentage shall be determined by Bank in its sole discretion) 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.
2.4    Overadvances.  If, at any time, the sum, without duplication, of (a) the outstanding principal amount of any Advances made to a Borrower, plus (b) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Bank for the account of such Borrower (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) exceeds the lesser of either (i) the Revolving Line, minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances made to the other Borrower, and minus the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Bank for the account of the other Borrower (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any 


2









Letter of Credit Reserve) or (ii) the US Borrower Borrowing Base or the Swiss Borrower Borrowing Base (as applicable for such Borrower), such Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”); provided, however, that such Borrower shall have three (3) Business Days to repay any Overadvance arising solely as a result of Bank’s reduction of the US Borrower Borrowing Base percentage or the Swiss Borrower Borrowing Base percentage, as applicable, in accordance with the terms set forth in the definition of “Swiss Borrower Borrowing Base” and “US Borrower Borrowing Base” in Section 13.1.  Without limiting either Borrower’s obligation to repay Bank any Overadvance, each Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance to such Borrower, on demand, at a per annum rate equal to the rate that is otherwise applicable to Advances plus five percent (5.0%).
2.5    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 greater of (A) zero percent (0.0%) and (B) 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 five percent (5.0%).  Pursuant to the terms hereof, interest on each Advance shall be paid by the Borrower to which such Advance was made in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  Accrued and unpaid 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.  The Prime Rate Margin applicable to Prime Rate Advances shall be determined on the basis of Borrowers’ most recent monthly Liquidity, as reported to Bank in the most recent Compliance Certificate and financial statements provided pursuant to Section 6.2, and such Prime Rate Margin shall be adjusted promptly upon receipt of such Compliance Certificate and financial statements.
(c)    LIBOR Advances.  The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder.  Subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.6, 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.  The LIBOR Rate Margin applicable to LIBOR Advances shall be determined on the basis of Borrowers’ most recent monthly Liquidity, as reported to Bank in the most recent Compliance Certificate and financial statements provided pursuant to Section 6.2(d) and (e), and such LIBOR Rate Margin shall be adjusted promptly upon receipt of such Compliance Certificate and financial statements.
(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.
(e)    Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percent (5.0%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”).  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.5(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.
2.6    Fees.  Borrowers shall pay to Bank:


3









(a)    Anniversary Fee.  A fully earned, nonrefundable anniversary fee of Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500.00) (the “Anniversary Fee”) was earned as of September 27, 2017 and is due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) September 27, 2018, (ii) the termination of this Agreement, or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default;
(b)    Letter of Credit Fee.  With respect to each Borrower, Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, each anniversary of the issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit, and upon the renewal of such Letter of Credit by Bank;
(c)    Termination Fee.  Upon termination of this Agreement or the termination of the Revolving Line for any reason prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, in addition to the payment of any other amounts then-owing, a termination fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Revolving Line (the “Termination Fee”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Termination Fee if the credit facility hereunder is replaced with a new facility from Bank or a Bank Affiliate.  For clarity, there will be no Termination Fee for a termination in connection with the Revolving Line Maturity Date being accelerated pursuant to Section 6.9(b)(i) or 6.9(b)(ii).
(d)    Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee.  Payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each quarter occurring 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 four-tenths of one percent (0.40%) per annum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank, computed on the basis of a year with the applicable number of days as set forth in Section 2.5(d).  The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar quarter basis and shall equal the difference between (i) the Revolving Line, and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding plus the sum of the aggregate amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve); and
(e)    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, upon demand by Bank).
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank, neither Borrower shall 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 either Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.6 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.7(c).  Bank shall provide the applicable Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.6.
2.7    Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.  
(a)    All payments to be made by each Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due.  Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.  When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.  
(b)    Bank has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied; provided that all payments received from Swiss Borrower shall be applied solely to the Obligations of Swiss Borrower.  Neither Borrower shall have any right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by such Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.


4









(c)    Bank may debit any of either Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts such Borrower owes Bank when due; provided that Bank may apply amounts from any debit of Swiss Borrower’s deposit accounts only to amounts owed by Swiss Borrower to Bank.  These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
2.8    Withholding. 
(a)    Payments received by Bank from US Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes.  Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires US Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes), US Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from US 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 of Taxes, Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and US Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority.  US Borrower will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that US Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that US 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 US Borrower.  
(b)    The interest rates provided for Swiss Borrower in this Agreement are minimum interest rates. The parties hereto have assumed, on the date of this Agreement, that Swiss withholding tax is not and will not become payable by the Swiss Borrower on interest payments under this Agreement. Swiss Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the interest rates set out in this Agreement are minimum interest rates which shall be adjusted in accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d) below if Swiss withholding tax becomes payable at any time on interest payments by Swiss Borrower under this Agreement.
(c)    If Swiss withholding tax applies on interest payments by Swiss Borrower under this Agreement Swiss Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as shall be necessary in order for the net amounts received by Bank after withholding of Swiss withholding tax to be equal to the respective amounts of interest which would otherwise have been receivable in respect of this Agreement in the absence of the withholding of Swiss withholding tax.
(d)    Swiss withholding tax shall be calculated, deducted and paid by Swiss Borrower to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration on the amount of interest so recalculated at a rate of thirty-five percent (35.0%) (or such other rate as applicable from time to time), unless a tax ruling obtained from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that such rate is, pursuant to any double-taxation treaty, a specified lesser rate in relation to Bank in which case such lesser rate shall be applied.
(e)    To the extent that interest payable under a Loan Document becomes subject to Swiss withholding tax, Bank and Swiss Borrower shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate Tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary (i) to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss withholding tax or (ii) to being subject to Swiss withholding tax at a rate reduced under applicable double taxation treaties or (iii) for Bank to obtain a full or partial refund of Swiss withholding tax under applicable double taxation treaties.
(f)    The agreements and obligations of each Borrower contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.9    Tax Forms.  Bank and each of its successors and assigns shall deliver to each Borrower at such times as are reasonably requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed tax documentation prescribed by law (including FATCA), or reasonably requested by such Borrower to establish such recipient’s status for withholding tax purposes or allow such Borrower to make payments hereunder without withholding for any 


5









taxes (or otherwise at a reduced rate of withholding), including without limitation, Forms W-9, W-8BEN-E, W-8BEN, W-8IMY, or W-8EXP, as applicable.  Each such Person shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrowers updated or other appropriate documentation or promptly notify the Borrowers of its inability to do so.  The obligations of Bank contained in this Section 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Any costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with this Section 2.9 shall constitute Bank Expenses.

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 Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 of this Agreement, an Advance shall be made upon a Borrower’s (via an individual duly authorized by an Administrator) irrevocable written notice delivered to Bank in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or without instructions if any Advances is necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.

In addition to such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable Borrower must promptly deliver to Bank by electronic mail or through Bank’s online banking program (i) if Borrowers have not delivered a Compliance Certificate to Bank within the period commencing on the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the date on which a Borrower delivers the Notice of Borrowing to Bank, a duly completed Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of each Borrower and otherwise in the form required pursuant to Section 6.2(e), (ii) if such Borrower has not delivered a Borrowing Base Report to Bank within the period commencing on the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Borrower delivers the Notice of Borrowing to Bank, a Borrowing Base Report for such Borrower (and any schedules related thereto and including any other information requested by Bank with respect to such Borrower’s Accounts), and (iii) such other reports and information, including without limitation, sales journals, cash receipts journals, accounts receivable aging reports, as Bank may request in its reasonable discretion.

(2)    elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances made to such Borrower maturing on such Interest Payment Date (provided that such Borrower may only elect to continue Advances consisting of LIBOR Advances at times when a Streamline Period is in effect); or
(3)    elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances made to such Borrower maturing on such Interest Payment Date into Prime Rate Advances.
(b)    The applicable Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation by electronic mail via Bank’s online banking program 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 made to such Borrower are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Advances; and (ii) on the Conversion Date, if any Advances made to such Borrower are to be converted into Prime Rate Advances, in each case specifying the:

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


8









(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 made to a Borrower, such 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, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Advances into Prime Rate Advances.
(d)    Any LIBOR Advances made to a Borrower shall (i) convert into Prime Rate Advances in the event that Streamline Period ceases to be in effect and (ii) at Bank’s option, convert into Prime Rate Advances in the event that (A) an Event of Default exists, or (B) (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Advances which have been previously converted to LIBOR Advances, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Advances continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period, plus (2) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve),  shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line, minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances made to the other Borrower, and minus the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Bank for the account of the other Borrower (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) or (ii) the US Borrower Borrowing Base or the Swiss Borrower Borrowing Base (as applicable for such Borrower).  The applicable Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, debit the Designated Deposit Account of such Borrower or any other account such Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank as set forth in Section 3.6(c), as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to this Section 3.5(d).
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR 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 Borrowers.
(b)    Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.  In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR 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 Borrowers of such determination, whereupon (i) no Advances may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Advances until such time as Bank notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by a Borrower with respect to LIBOR Advances in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by such 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/


9









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, the Borrower to which the applicable LIBOR Advance was made 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:
(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 
(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 in reasonable detail 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 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 an Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) neither Borrower may 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 3.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by a Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall, at Bank’s option, be deemed to be rescinded by such 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)    Each Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Advances relating thereto that have been made to such Borrower (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:


10









(i)    changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Advances made to such Borrower (other than changes with respect to Excluded Taxes);
(ii)    imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any LIBOR 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 Borrowers 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 the applicable Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail 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 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, each 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 in reasonable detail the basis and 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, neither Borrower shall 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 Borrowers 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 each 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 Borrowers.  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 Borrowers agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances. 
(d)    If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advances, or to perform its obligations hereunder, or if the LIBOR Rate becomes unavailable for any reason, upon demand by Bank, each Borrower shall prepay the LIBOR Advances made to such Borrower in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by such Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(c)(ii)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Advance then being requested by a Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, such Borrower shall have the 


11









option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c)(ii), 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.  US 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. 
All Obligations of Swiss Borrower shall be secured by the Swiss Borrower Security Documents and any and all other security agreements, mortgages or other collateral granted to Bank by Swiss Borrower as security for the Obligations, now or in the future.
Each 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, each Borrower agrees that any amounts such Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations of such Borrower hereunder and that it is the intent of such Borrower and Bank to have (a) all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted by US Borrower herein and in the Swiss Borrower Share Pledge Agreement and (b) all such Obligations of Swiss Borrower secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted in the Swiss Borrower Security Documents.  The Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens.
If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral granted by a Borrower shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) of such Borrower are repaid in full in cash.  Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations of a Borrower (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at the sole cost and expense of such Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral granted by such Borrower and all rights therein shall revert to such Borrower.  In the event (x) all Obligations of a Borrower (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement, the Swiss Borrower Security Documents and the Swiss Borrower Share Pledge Agreement are terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein, in the Swiss Borrower Security Documents and the Swiss Borrower Share Pledge Agreement (as applicable) upon such Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services provided to such Borrower, if any.  In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower, such 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 business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating  to such  Letters of Credit.
4.2    Priority of Security Interest.  Each Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interests granted herein and in the Swiss Security Documents is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (which Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens).  If US Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a value in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), such Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by such 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 


12









rights hereunder.  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
Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 
5.1    Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority.  US Borrower 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 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 such Borrower’s business.  Swiss Borrower is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Switzerland and has the power to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to own its property and other assets.  In connection with this Agreement, each Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by such Borrower, entitled “Perfection Certificate” (such documents are referred to individually as a “Perfection Certificate” and collectively, the “Perfection Certificates”).  Each Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that, except as may have been updated by a notification to Bank pursuant to Section 7.2, (a) such Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on its Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) such Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in its Perfection Certificate; (c) such Borrower’s Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth such Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Borrower has none; (d) such Borrower’s Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth such Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as such Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) except as disclosed in such Borrower’s Perfection Certificate, such Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on such Borrower’s Perfection Certificate pertaining to such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is true and correct in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that  such Borrower may from time to time update certain information in its Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement).  If US Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, US Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with US Borrower’s organizational identification number.
The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by such Borrower, and do not (i) conflict with any of such Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict with or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority on the part of such Borrower (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect and filings necessary to perfect Liens granted under the Loan Documents), or (v) conflict with, contravene, constitute a default or breach under, or result in or permit the termination or acceleration of, any material agreement by which such Borrower is bound.  Neither Borrower is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Borrower’s business.  
5.2    Collateral.  Each 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 or pursuant to the Swiss Borrower Security Documents or the Swiss Borrower Share Pledge Agreement, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens.  Neither Borrower has any Collateral Accounts at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates except for the Collateral Accounts described in such Borrower’s Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith or for which such Borrower has taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.8(b).  The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.  


13









The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificates 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 Certificates or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.
All Inventory of Borrowers is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.
Each Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) Intellectual Property licensed to such Borrower.  Each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to such Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which such Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to such Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.  To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made in writing 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 Borrowers’ business.
Except as noted on the Perfection Certificates or as notified to Bank pursuant to Section 6.10, no Borrower is a party to, or is bound by, any Restricted License.
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.
(b)    All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Eligible Accounts included in any Borrowing Base Report are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of each Borrower’s Books in respect of such Eligible Accounts are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be.  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.  Borrowers have no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Report.  To the best of Borrowers’ 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.  
5.4    Litigation.  There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened in writing against either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
5.5    Financial Statements; Financial Condition.  All consolidated financial statements for US Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects US Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial condition and US Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated results of operations as of the dates and for the periods covered thereby.  There has not been any material deterioration in either 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 each Borrower’s consolidated assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of such Borrower’s liabilities; neither Borrower is left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and each Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.  Swiss Borrower is not subject to any bankruptcy proceedings or proceedings for composition or suspension of payment, and no such proceedings have been applied for.


14









5.7    Regulatory Compliance.  Neither Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Neither Borrower is 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).  Each Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, and (b) has not violated any Requirements of Law the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business.  None of either Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by either Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than in compliance with all applicable laws.  Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted, except to the extent that failure to obtain make or file the same would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business.
5.8    Subsidiaries; Investments.  Neither Borrower owns any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.  
5.9    Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions.  Each Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and each Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by such Borrower except (a) to the extent such taxes, assessments, deposits or contributions are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, or (b) if such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).  
To the extent either Borrower defers payment of any contested taxes, such Borrower shall (i) notify Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (ii) post bonds or take 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.”  Each Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of such Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrowers in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).  Each Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and neither Borrower has 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 either Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
5.10    Use of Proceeds.  Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and for general corporate purposes and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.
5.11    Full Disclosure.  No written representation, warranty or other statement of either 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 by either Borrower 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 Borrowers 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).
5.12    Compliance with Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule.  Subject to compliance by Bank with Section 12.2, Swiss Borrower is in compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule.
5.13    Definition of “Knowledge.”  For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to a Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” a Borrower’s knowledge, or with a 


15









similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of any Responsible Officer of such Borrower.
6    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Each Borrower shall do all of the following:
6.1    Government Compliance.  
(a)    Except as permitted by Section 7.3, maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing (or its foreign equivalent, if any) in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Borrower’s business or operations.  Each Borrower shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, in all material respects, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Borrower’s business.

(k)    promptly, from time to time, such other information regarding either Borrower or compliance with the terms of any Loan Documents as reasonably requested by Bank.
6.3    Accounts Receivable.
(a)    Schedules and Documents Relating to Accounts.  Borrowers shall deliver to Bank transaction reports and schedules of collections with respect to its Accounts, as provided in Section 6.2, on Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that a Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights in all of such Borrower’s 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, the applicable Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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, each 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.  Borrowers shall promptly notify Bank of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate existing at any time.  Borrower may forgive (completely or partially), compromise, or settle any Account of US Borrower for less than 


17









payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing so long as (i) such 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 Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) after taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, (A) the total outstanding Advances plus (B) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) will not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base. 
(c)    Collection of Accounts.  On June 30, 2018 (or such later date as may be agreed upon by Bank in its sole and absolute discretion) and at all times thereafter, (i) US Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor of US Borrower to deliver or transmit at least eighty-five percent (85.0%) of all proceeds of Accounts of US Borrower into a lockbox account or other “blocked account” as specified by Bank (each such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”) and (ii) Swiss Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor of Swiss Borrower to deliver or transmit at least eighty-five percent (85.0%) of all proceeds of Accounts of Swiss Borrower to one or more blocked account(s) (as appropriate) established with Bank’s United Kingdom branch or to wire any other transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls in the United Kingdom (collectively, the “Blocked Account”).  Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, US Borrower shall immediately deliver all payments on and proceeds of Accounts of US Borrower to the Cash Collateral Account and Swiss Borrower shall deliver all payments on and proceeds of Accounts of Swiss Borrower to the Blocked Account.  Subject to Bank’s right to maintain a reserve pursuant to Section 6.3(d), all amounts received in the Cash Collateral Account shall be (i) applied to immediately reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Line when a Streamline Period is not in effect (unless Bank, in its sole discretion, at times when an Event of Default exists, elects not to so apply such amounts) with any excess to be transferred to US Borrower’s operating account with Bank, or (ii) so long as no Event of Default exists, transferred on a daily basis to US Borrower’s operating account with Bank when a Streamline Period is in effect.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to transfer to the Cash Collateral Account or Blocked Account any amounts that Bank reasonably determines are proceeds of the Accounts of such Borrower (provided that Bank is under no obligation to do so and this allowance shall in no event relieve either Borrower of its obligations hereunder).  Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, Bank shall have absolute discretion as to the sums (if any) it permits either Borrower, on a case-by-case basis, to withdraw from the Blocked Account (and neither Borrower shall draw money from the Blocked Account except to the extent permitted in writing by Bank), and Bank shall have no obligation to turn over to either Borrower any sums in the Blocked Account.  Without limiting Bank's discretion referred to in the preceding sentence, Bank will take into account whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and whether a Streamline Period is in effect when deciding whether to permit any drawing by a Borrower from the Blocked Account.  Swiss Borrower shall not at any time without the prior written consent of Bank deal with its Accounts (or the proceeds of its Accounts) otherwise than by getting in the same and paying them into the Blocked Account.  Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, Swiss Borrower shall not at any such time factor or discount any of such Accounts or their proceeds or enter into any agreement for such factoring or discounting and shall not, without the prior written consent of Bank, release, exchange, compound, set off, grant time or indulgence in respect of, or in any other manner deal with all or any of such Accounts or their proceeds.  It will be considered an immediate Event of Default if (a) the Cash Collateral Account is not set up and operational by the Effective Date and at all times thereafter or (b) the Blocked Account is not set up and operational by January 31, 2018 and at all times thereafter.  Bank may in its sole and absolute discretion apply amounts received in the Blocked Account to reduce the Obligations of Swiss Borrower under the Revolving Line.   This Section 6.3(c) does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act in respect of the Accounts or otherwise.
(d)    Reserves.  Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, at times when an Event of Default exists, Bank may, to the extent of outstanding Obligations, hold any proceeds of the Accounts and any amounts in the Cash Collateral Account that are not applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(c) above (including amounts otherwise required to be transferred to a Borrower’s operating account with Bank when a Streamline Period is in effect) as a reserve to be applied to any Obligations of the applicable Borrower regardless of whether such Obligations are then due and payable.
(e)    Returns.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory with a value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) to a 


18









Borrower, such Borrower shall promptly (i) determine the reason for such return, (ii) issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount, and (iii) provide a copy of such credit memorandum to Bank, upon request from Bank.  In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Borrower shall hold the returned Inventory in trust for Bank, and immediately notify Bank of the return of the Inventory.  
(f)    Verifications; Confirmations; Credit Quality; Notifications.  Bank may, from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, (i) verify and confirm directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, either in the name of the applicable Borrower or Bank or such other name as Bank may choose, and notify any Account Debtor of Bank’s security interest in such Account and/or (ii) conduct a credit check of any Account Debtor to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit.  In addition, during the existence of an Event of Default, Bank may notify Account Debtors to make payments in respect of Accounts directly to Bank.
(g)    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 either 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 Section 6.3(c), deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition (net of transaction costs of such Borrower, if any, related to such disposition) of any Collateral of such Borrower to Bank in the original form in which received by such Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by such Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations (a) prior to an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.3(c) hereof, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, US Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by US Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year).  Each Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of such 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 6.4 limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
6.5    Taxes; Pensions.  Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except for (i) deferred payment of any taxes contested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof and (ii) taxes, assessments, deposits or contributions that do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).  Borrowers shall deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms.
6.6    Access to Collateral; Books and Records.  At reasonable times, on five (5) Business Days’ 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 of each Borrower.  Such inspections or audits shall be conducted as frequently as Bank determines in its reasonable discretion that conditions warrant.  The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted at Borrowers’ expense, and the charge therefor shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.  In the event Borrowers and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrowers cancel or seek to or reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies) 


19









Borrowers shall pay Bank a fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.  Borrowers hereby acknowledges that the first such audit will be conducted no later than December 26, 2017.
6.7    Insurance.  
(a)    Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in such Borrower’s industry and location and as Bank may reasonably request.  Insurance policies shall be in a form, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies that are not Affiliates of Borrowers, and in amounts that are reasonably satisfactory to Bank.  All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as the sole lender loss payee.  All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured.  Bank shall be named as lender loss payee and/or additional insured with respect to any such insurance providing coverage in respect of any Collateral. 
(b)    Ensure that proceeds payable under any property policy are, at Bank’s option, payable to Bank on account of the Obligations of the applicable Borrower.
(c)    At Bank’s request, US Borrower shall deliver certified copies of insurance policies and evidence of all premium payments.  Each provider of any such insurance required under this Section 6.7 shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to Bank, that it will give Bank thirty (30) days prior written notice before any such policy or policies shall be materially altered or canceled (other than cancellation due to non-payment of premium).  Borrower shall immediately notify Bank if any insurance policy required under this Section 6.7 is cancelled due to non-payment of premium.  If Borrowers fail 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    Accounts.
(a)    At all times on and after January 1, 2018, (i) US Borrower shall maintain all of its and its United States Subsidiaries’ operating, depository and securities/investment accounts with Bank and Bank’s Affiliates and (ii) Swiss Borrower shall maintain all of its operating, depository and securities/investment accounts with Bank and Bank’s Affiliates.  In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct all of its investment management, letters of credit and foreign exchange banking with Bank.   
(b)    In addition to and without limiting the restrictions in (a), each Borrower shall provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before such Borrower establishes any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. For each Collateral Account that either Borrower at any time maintains in the United States, such Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank) at or with which any 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 which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Bank.  The provisions of the previous sentence 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 a Borrower’s employees and identified to Bank by either Borrower as such.
6.9    Financial Covenants.

With respect to any period ending after September 30, 2018, Bank will set the Adjusted EBITDA covenant levels for any such period in its sole discretion based upon, among other factors, budgets, sales projections, operating plans and other financial information with respect to US Borrower that Bank deems relevant, including, without limitation, US Borrower’s annual financial projections approved by the Board of US Borrower.  Without limiting Bank’s ability to set covenant levels in its reasonable discretion, Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the required Adjusted EBITDA for any trailing twelve (12) month period ending after September 30, 2018 shall in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

(b)    Provide written notice to Bank on the next Compliance Certificate required to be delivered hereunder of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public).  Borrowers shall take such steps as Bank reasonably 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.

8    EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Any one of the following shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement:
8.1    Payment Default.  Either Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on any Credit Extension when due, or (b) pay any other Obligations within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and payable (which three (3) Business Day cure period shall not apply to payments due on the Revolving Line Maturity Date).  During the cure period, the failure to make or pay any payment specified under clause (b) hereunder is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);
8.2    Covenant Default.  
(a)    Either Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 6.10, 6.12, 6.15, or 6.16 or violates any covenant in Section 7; or
(b)    Either Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Loan Documents, and as to any default (other than those specified in this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that 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 such Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, 


24









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

Any of the following occurs with respect to US Borrower’s Indebtedness pursuant to the Indenture: (a) US Borrower makes any payment with respect to such Indebtedness other than:  (i) if at the time of the making of such payment no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, US Borrower making a regular interest payment on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a per annum rate of interest not to exceed four percent (4.0%), (ii) US Borrower making cash payments in lieu of fractional shares in an aggregate amount not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00), (iii) US Borrower issuing shares of its common stock upon conversion or settlement of the Convertible Notes, and (iv) if at the time of the making of such payment no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, US Borrower making other payments in connection with any redemption, repurchase, conversion or settlement with respect to any Convertible Notes to the extent not otherwise prohibited by Section 7.1(j); (b) either Borrower grants, or any party otherwise obtains, a Lien on any assets of either Borrower to secure all or any Indebtedness under the Indenture; (c) there occurs and is continuing any default or event of default (however so defined) under the Indenture (after giving effect to all applicable cure periods); (d) US Borrower receives notice that any Holder (as defined in the Indenture and as hereinafter used) is exercising its rights to require US Borrower to repurchase Convertible Notes except for any such repurchase that complies with the requirements set forth in Section 7.1(j); or (e) the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture and as hereinafter used) or any Holder or any other Person acting on behalf of the Trustee or any Holder exercises any remedy with respect to any property of either Borrower in connection with the Indenture, accelerates all or any portion of the Indebtedness under the Indenture, or commences, or causes to commence, prosecutes or participates in any administrative, legal or equitable action against either Borrower in respect of the Indenture.
9    BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1    Rights and Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a)    declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 with respect to either Borrower occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b)    stop advancing money or extending credit for either Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between either Borrower and Bank;
(c)    demand that the applicable Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to at least (A) one hundred five percent (105.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of 


26









Credit denominated in Dollars issued for the account of such Borrower remaining undrawn, and (B) one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency issued for the account of such Borrower remaining undrawn (plus, in each case, 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 of such Borrower relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and the applicable Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;
(d)    terminate any FX Contracts;
(e)    verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds.  Borrowers shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;
(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.  Borrowers 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.  Each 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 of the applicable Borrower any (i) balances and deposits of such Borrower it holds, or (ii) amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower;
(h)    ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral.  Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, each Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, each 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 the Borrower’s Books of each Borrower;
(k)    effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral into the name of Bank and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank; and
(l)    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.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to:  (a) exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (ii) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or 


27









proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Bank’s or such Borrower’s name, as Bank chooses); (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code or other applicable law permits; and (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to such Borrower; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, (i) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; and (ii) notify all Account Debtors of such Borrower to pay Bank directly.  Each Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign such Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral granted by such Borrower regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement) have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents have been terminated.  Bank’s foregoing appointment as such 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, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement) have been fully repaid and performed and the Loan Documents have been terminated.
9.3    Protective Payments.  If either 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 such 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 Borrowers 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.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or at any time on the terms set forth in Section 6.3(c), regardless of whether an Event of Default exists), Bank shall have the right to apply in any order 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 of the applicable Borrower.  Bank shall pay any surplus to the applicable Borrower by credit to the Designated Deposit Account of such Borrower or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; each Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency with respect to its Obligations.  If Bank, 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 and applicable law 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.  Each Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of its Collateral, other than those losses directly resulting from Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.6    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrowers 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 


28









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.  To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each 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.
9.8    Borrower Liability.  Each Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints each other as agent with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder and for purposes of giving or receiving any notices or the delivery of any documents or certificates hereunder.  For clarity, delivery of a notice to one Borrower by Bank shall be deemed to be delivery to both Borrowers.  US Borrower hereby guarantees the payment of, and shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made to Swiss Borrower hereunder as if US Borrower directly received such Credit Extensions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Swiss Borrower shall not be obligated to repay any Obligations of US Borrower, and no Collateral of Swiss Borrower, including any collateral under the Swiss Borrower Security Documents, shall secure or be deemed to secure any Obligations of US Borrower and (ii) the parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the Obligations of each Borrower are separate obligations (except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), and nothing herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be construed or interpreted to cause Swiss Borrower to be considered a pledgor or guarantor of any Obligations of US Borrower pursuant to Section 956(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including by reason of Section 1.956-2(c) of such Treasury Regulations.  Each Borrower waives to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against either Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy.  Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against either Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose or realize its security by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting either Borrower’s liability.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by either Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by either Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.  Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 9.8 shall be null and void.  If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 9.8, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
Subject to the foregoing, each Borrower is entering into this Agreement, and making all representations and warranties hereunder, on a joint and several basis, and all covenants, agreements and undertakings herein expressed or implied on the part of each Borrower shall be deemed to be joint and several.
10    NOTICES

11    CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE
Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Each Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.  Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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.  Each Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 such Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by such Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.


30









TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court.  The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 through 645.1, inclusive.  The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers.  All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.  If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief.  The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings.  The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings.  The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge.  The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644(a).  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies.  The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12    GENERAL PROVISIONS
12.1    Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival.  All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall 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, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement) have been satisfied.  So long as Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrowers, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given by Borrowers to Bank, which notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of a financing or other events and may be revoked by Borrowers if such condition has or will not occur on the proposed termination date.  Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination. 
12.2    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party.  Neither Borrower may 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 Borrowers, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any 


31









part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such assignment is only admissible if it does not result in a breach of the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule; and provided that, if Bank sells, transfers, assigns, or grants a participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, any Obligations of Swiss Borrower, Bank shall provide notice thereof to Swiss Borrower.
12.3    Indemnification.  Each 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:  (i) 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 (ii) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and either Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.
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.
12.6    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 Borrowers with written notice of such correction and allows Borrowers 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 Borrowers.
12.7    Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration.  No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document.  Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver.  The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements.  All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.
12.8    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.
12.9    Confidentiality.  In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”), provided that such Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in this Section 12.9; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, that any prospective transferee or purchaser shall have entered into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those in this Section 12.9); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank reasonably 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
