(ii)    Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Administrative Agent by facsimile or other electronic transmission or telephone no later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time, on the Business Day prior to the Business Day that the Advance is to be made.  Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.  Upon receipt of such notification, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, and Lender shall fund its pro rata portion of the Advance to be made in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage into an account designated by Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Administrative Agent is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person whom Administrative Agent reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless for any damages or loss suffered by such Person as a result of such reliance except for damages or losses caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have determined that any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.2, as applicable, have not been satisfied, 


10.







Administrative Agent will credit the amount of Advances to a deposit account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. 
(iii)    All Advances shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and in accordance to their respective Commitment Percentage, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make an Advance requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby, nor shall any commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make an Advance requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.
(iv)    Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Business Day the Advance is requested to be made, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on the Business Day the Advance is to be made, and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on the Business Day the Advance is requested to be made.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such day the Advance was made until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of such Advance until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate applicable to Advances pursuant to Section 2.3. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
(v)    Borrower will use the proceeds of the Advances for the repayment of existing indebtedness and working capital needs or general corporate purposes.
(b)    Letters of Credit. 
(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank will issue Letters of Credit in form and substance acceptable to Issuing Bank for the account of Borrower on any Business Day before the Revolving Maturity Date.  The aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit plus the aggregate amount of all drawn but unreimbursed amounts under any Letter of Credit shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Lenders, each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (A) 30 days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date (unless cash collateral is provided therefor as provided hereunder) and (ii) the first anniversary of its date of issuance; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (A) above).
(ii)    Borrower may from time to time request that Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuing Bank an application and such other documents as Issuing Bank may request.  Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to Borrower and Lenders promptly following the issuance thereof.
(iii)    Borrower shall pay Issuing Bank such fees as are incurred or charged by Issuing Bank in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
(iv)    Issuing Bank grants to each Lender, and each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase from Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions set forth below, an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by Issuing Bank thereunder.  If a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by Borrower, such Lender shall pay to Issuing Bank upon demand an 


11.







amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.  Each Lender’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional.
(v)    If Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Issuing Bank an amount equal to the entire amount of such L/C Disbursement not later than the immediately following Business Day.  Each such payment shall be made to Issuing Bank in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Unless Borrower immediately notifies Issuing Bank that Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for such L/C Disbursement from other sources or funds, Borrower is deemed to have timely given a Payment/Advance Form to Administrative Agent requesting that Lenders make an Advance on the applicable repayment date in the amount of such L/C Disbursement and Lenders shall make an Advance in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse Issuing Bank for such L/C Disbursement. If Issuing Bank shall not have received payment from Borrower (by an Advance or otherwise), Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such L/C Disbursement, and each Lender shall pay to Issuing Bank upon demand an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such L/C Disbursement; upon such payment, Borrower shall be required to reimburse the Lenders for such payments (including interest accrued thereon from the date of such payment until the date of such reimbursement at the Default Rate) on demand.
(vi)    Borrower’s obligations under this Section are absolute and unconditional and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that Borrower may have or have had against Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person.  Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank.  
(vii)    If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of Issuing Bank to Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
(viii)    To the extent that any provision of any application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.1(b), the provisions of this Section 2.1(b) shall apply.
(ix)    Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or reinstatement of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 3.2 shall not then be satisfied.
(x)    Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent cash collateral equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and costs due in connection therewith, to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit (i) on the Revolving Maturity Date (or the effective date of any termination of this Agreement) if there are any outstanding Letters of Credit on such date or (ii) as required under Section 2.2.
2.2    Overadvances.  If, without duplication, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances (other than Advances consisting of Letters of Credit or obligations in respect thereof) plus the aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit plus the aggregate amount of all drawn but unreimbursed amounts under any Letter of Credit exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, 


12.







Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent the amount of such excess in cash (a) with respect to Advances (other than Advances consisting of Letters of Credit or obligations in respect thereof), for distribution the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage promptly upon receipt thereof by Administrative Agent or (b) with respect to Advances consisting of Letters of Credit, as cash collateral as provided by Section 2.1(b)(x).
2.3    Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a)    Interest Rates.  Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances (other than Advances consisting of Letters of Credit or obligations in respect thereof) shall bear interest, on the outstanding principal amount thereof, at a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, provided that if Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries’ Adjusted EBITDA at the end of any fiscal quarter is less than $1.00 for such fiscal quarter, then the Advances (other than Advances consisting of Letters of Credit or obligations in respect thereof) shall bear interest, on the outstanding principal amount thereof, at a rate per annum equal to three quarters of one percent (0.75%) above the Prime Rate until Borrower has provided evidence to Lenders that Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries have Adjusted EBITDA of at least $1.00 for the preceding two fiscal quarters, at which time the interest rate shall revert to a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate.
(b)    Default Rate.  All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Required Lenders, at a rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default (the “Default Rate”); provided that the Default Rate shall be applicable automatically upon an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.5.
(c)    Payments.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each month during the term hereof.  Administrative Agent shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Lender Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute payments received by it in its capacity as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement to Lenders, in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share promptly upon receipt. 
(d)    Computation.  In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate.  All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.  Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee under the Loan Documents shall be made by Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.    
(e)    Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Advances or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
2.4    Crediting Payments.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is existing, Administrative Agent shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to be applied to the Obligations as Borrower specifies.  After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the receipt by a Lender 


13.







or of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately paid to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to conditionally reduce Obligations in accordance with Section 9.3, but shall not be considered a payment on such account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by a Lender after 12:00 noon Pacific Time shall be deemed to have been received by such Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.  Whenever any payment under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. 
2.5    Withholding.  Payments made on account of the Obligations by Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto) other than income, franchise or branch profit taxes imposed on (or measured by) any Lender’s net income by the United States of America.  Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder, for any such tax, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, each Lender receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority.  Borrower will, upon request, furnish any Lender with proof reasonably satisfactory to such Lender indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.  The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.6    Fees.  Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall distribute to Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except in case of Lender Expenses, in which case each Lender and Administrative Agent shall receive Lender Expenses owed to such Person) promptly upon receipt, the following:
(a)    Facility Fees.  
(i)    on the Closing Date, a fully earned, non-refundable facility fee equal to $125,000, and 
(ii)    an anniversary fee on each of the first and the second anniversary of the Closing Date, equal to $31,250, each of which shall be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date and which shall be accelerated and be due and payable in full upon (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement;
(b)    Unused Fee. Within ten days of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a fee, payable in arrears, equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily difference between (i) the Revolving Line and (ii) the Daily Balance during such fiscal quarter; 
(c)    Lender Expenses.  On the Closing Date, all Lender Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and, after the Closing Date, all Lender Expenses incurred after the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, within 10 days after demand therefor by Administrative Agent or such Lender.
2.7    Term.  This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lenders shall 


14.







have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with this Agreement.  Notwithstanding termination, Administrative Agent’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or Obligations that have been cash collateralized in accordance herewith) are outstanding.

(a)    timely receipt by Administrative Agent of the Payment/Advance Forms as provided in Section 2.1; 
(b)    the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension as though made at and as of each such date (except (i) to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier specified date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and (ii) such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof).  The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2; 
(c)    Borrower is in compliance with all covenants and no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Credit Extension; and
(d)    no event or circumstance has occurred that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.    CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
4.1    Grant of Security Interest.  To secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents, Borrower grants to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral.  Except for Permitted Liens which have priority solely by operation or law or Liens described in clause (c) of the definition of Permitted Liens, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof.  If this Agreement is terminated, Administrative Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations and any other bank services provided by Lenders (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or Obligations that have been cash collateralized in accordance herewith) are repaid in full in cash or cash collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof.  Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or Obligations that have been cash collateralized in accordance herewith) and at such time as Lender’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Administrative Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.     
4.2    Delivery of Additional Documentation Required.  Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, at the request of Administrative Agent, all Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, to perfect and continue the perfection of Administrative Agent’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.  Borrower from time to time may deposit with Administrative Agent specific time deposit accounts to secure specific Obligations. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the Obligations are outstanding.
4.3    Right to Inspect.  Administrative Agent and the Lenders (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Accounts and Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. 


16.







4.4    Pledge of Shares.  Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, a security interest in 65% of the voting Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of Borrower that is a “controlled foreign corporation” (as defined in the IRC) and all Equity Interests including shares of stock of any other Subsidiary of Borrower (collectively, the “Shares”), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations.  Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the certificate or certificates, if any, for the Shares will be delivered to Administrative Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower.  To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Administrative Agent may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Administrative Agent and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Administrative Agent or its transferee.  Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Shares; provided that with respect to any Subsidiary organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any subdivision thereof, Borrower is not required to execute or deliver any such document or take any such actions unless such Subsidiary has a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or owns or has rights to any Intellectual Property that is material to Borrower’s business.  Unless notified by Administrative Agent in writing otherwise, when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms.  All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the written notice by Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
4.5    Authorization to File Financing Statements.  Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Administrative Agent’s interest or 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 Administrative Agent’s discretion.
5.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1    Due Organization and Qualification.  Borrower and each Subsidiary is (i) an organization duly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (ii) qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.2    Due Authorization; No Conflict.  The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any material law or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to Borrower and its Subsidiaries or its property, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound.  Borrower is not in default under any material agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
5.3    No Prior Encumbrances.  Borrower has good and marketable title to its property, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
5.4    Bona Fide Accounts.  The Accounts are bona fide existing obligations.  The property and services giving rise to such Accounts has been delivered or rendered to the account debtor or to the account debtor’s agent for immediate and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor.

17.







has not received notice of actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor owing Accounts in excess of $250,000.
5.5    Merchantable Inventory.  All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from all material defects (ordinary wear and tear excepted), except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made.
5.6    Intellectual Property.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or are licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary to its business.  Neither Borrower nor its Subsidiaries have licensed its Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to customers in the ordinary course of business.  Each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any material part of the Intellectual Property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries violates the rights of any third party.  Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrower’s rights as a licensee of Intellectual Property do not give rise to more than seven and one half percent (7.5%) of its gross revenue in any given month, including without limitation revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of any product or service.  Borrower is not a party to, or bound by, any agreement that restricts the grant by Borrower of a security interest in Borrower’s rights under such agreement.
5.7    Name; Location of Chief Executive Office.  Except as disclosed in the Schedule, in the five years prior to the Closing Date, Borrower has not done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof.  The chief executive office of Borrower is located at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof or such other address provided to Administrative Agent in compliance with Section 7.2.  All Borrower’s Inventory and Equipment is located at the location set forth in Section 10 hereof or as set forth in the Schedule or such other location with respect to which Borrower is in full compliance with Section 7.10.
5.8    Litigation.  Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no material actions or proceedings pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court or administrative agency that are reasonably likely to be determined in an adverse manner and, if so adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.9    No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.  All financial statements delivered by Borrower under Section 6.3 fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations for the period then ended.  There has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements provided to Administrative Agent hereunder or made publicly available by Borrower.  
5.10    Solvency, Payment of Debts.  The fair salable value of Borrower’s consolidated assets exceeds the fair value of Borrower’s liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they become due.
5.11    Regulatory Compliance.  Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, and no event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that could result in Borrower’s incurring any material liability.  Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).  Borrower and each Subsidiary have not violated any material statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it.
5.12    Environmental Condition.

9.2    Power of Attorney.  Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (and any of Administrative Agent’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to:  (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) receive and open all mail addressed to Borrower for the purpose of collecting the Accounts; (c) notify all account debtors with respect to the Accounts to pay Administrative Agent directly; (d) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Administrative Agent’s possession, or at Administrative Agent’s request, cause any Lender to endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into such Lender’s possession; (e) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (f) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (g) demand, collect, receive, sue, and give releases to any account debtor for the monies due or which may become due upon or with respect to the Accounts and to compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case or proceeding relating to the Accounts; (h) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Administrative Agent determines to be reasonable; (i) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, compromise, discharge or otherwise dispose of any Collateral; (j) execute on behalf of Borrower any and all instruments, documents, financing statements and the like to perfect Administrative Agent’s interests in the Accounts and file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral; and (k) do all acts and things necessary or expedient, in furtherance of any such purposes.  The appointment of Administrative Agent as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Administrative Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated.


27.







9.3    Application of Payments and Proceeds.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a)    Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of payments at any time or times thereafter received by Administrative Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrower of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrower on the one hand and Administrative Agent and Lenders on the other, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may deem advisable (subject to the pro rata application of all such sums in accordance with this Agreement and to the order of application set forth in clause (b) of this Section 9.3) notwithstanding any previous application by Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and 
(b)    after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.1, any amounts received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent and Lenders in the following order: 
(i)    first, to the Lender Expenses; 
(ii)    second, to pay all fees, costs, indemnities, reimbursements and expenses then due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash
(iii)    third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations until paid in full in cash (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); 
(iv)    fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding until paid in full in cash; and 
(v)    fifth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower owing to Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents.  
Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.  In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.  Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to Pro Rata Share unless expressly provided otherwise.  Administrative Agent, or if applicable, each Lender, shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of the Advances and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by Borrower.  If it is determined that a Lender received more than its Pro Rata Share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to Administrative Agent or other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by Administrative Agent.  Any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall be received by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lender for application to the payments of amounts due on the other Lenders’ claims.  To the extent any payment for the account of Borrower is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Lenders shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis.  If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for Administrative Agent and Lenders for purposes of perfecting Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest therein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not be liable for the failure of any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder. 


28.







9.4    Accounts Collection.  In addition to the foregoing, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Administrative Agent’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account.  During the existence of an Event of Default, upon written instruction by Administrative Agent Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Administrative Agent, receive in trust all payments as Administrative Agent’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Administrative Agent in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.5    Lender Expenses.  If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Administrative Agent may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower and with the consent of the Required Lenders:  (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof to the extent such amounts relate to protecting or maintaining the Collateral; (b) set up such reserves as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect Administrative Agent or any Lender from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6, and take any action with respect to such policies as Administrative Agent deems prudent.  Any amounts so paid or deposited by Administrative Agent shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  Any payments made by Administrative Agent shall not constitute an agreement by Administrative Agent or any Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.6    Liability for Collateral.  So long as Administrative Agent complies with reasonable banking practices, Administrative Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible to the Borrower for:  (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever.  All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
9.7    Remedies Cumulative.  Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.  Administrative Agent shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  No exercise by Administrative Agent of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Administrative Agent or of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Administrative Agent shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.  No waiver shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Administrative Agent and Lenders required under Section 12.5 and then shall be effective only in the instance and for the purpose for which it was given.
9.8    Demand; Protest.  Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, 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 at any time held by Administrative Agent or any Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
9.9    Shares.  Borrower recognizes that Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
9.10    Adjustments-Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by 


29.







applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, at any time held or owing, and any other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.    NOTICES.

11.    CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Each of Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender submits to the jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.  BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. 
If the jury waiver set forth in this Section is not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein shall be settled by judicial reference pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq. before a referee sitting without a jury, such referee to be mutually acceptable to the parties or, if no agreement is reached, by a referee appointed by the Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court for Los Angeles County.  This Section shall not restrict a party from exercising remedies under the Code or from exercising pre-judgment remedies under applicable law.
12.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.
12.1    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Required Lenders’ prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in any such Lender’s sole discretion.  Any sale, transfer, or assignment or grant of participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, a Lender’s obligations, rights and benefits to any Person that is not a direct competitor of Borrower shall require the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an Event of Default, or in connection with the sale or disposition of a Lender or all or a portion of a Lender’s loan portfolio, such Lender shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder to any Person.
12.2    Indemnification.  Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and their officers, employees, and agents against:  (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Lender Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Administrative Agent or a Lender and Borrower under this Agreement (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), in each case except for losses caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable.  
12.3    Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.
12.4    Severability of Provisions.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
12.5    Amendments in Writing, Integration.  All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.  Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.5.  The Required Lenders and the Borrower may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Borrower may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the 


31.







Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:
(a)    (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, (ii) reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder, (iii) extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Loan Commitment, (iv) modify the Borrowing Base (any other changes to the extent that such change has the effect of increasing the Advance rate), in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
(b)    (i) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 12.5 without the written consent of such Lender; (ii) amend the definition of Required Lenders, (iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) release the Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the guarantors from their obligations under any guaranty, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or
(c)    (i) amend, modify or waive any pro rata requirements or the application of payments in Section 9.3 without the written consent of each Lender 
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured during the period such waiver is effective; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
12.6    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, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall deliver all original signed documents requested by Administrative Agent no later than ten (10) Business Days following the initial Advance.
12.7    Survival.  All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrower.  The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Administrative Agent or any Lender have run.
12.8    Confidentiality; Disclosure.  In handling any confidential information of Borrower or any Subsidiary, Administrative Agent and Lenders and all employees and agents thereof, including but not limited to accountants, shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the Subsidiaries or Affiliates of Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower so long as such Subsidiaries or Affiliates comply with the provisions of this Section 12.8, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the loans, provided that they are similarly bound by confidentiality obligations, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Administrative Agent or any Lender, (v) as Administrative Agent 


32.







or any Lender may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder, and (vi) to third-party service providers of a Lender so long as such service providers are similarly bound by confidentiality obligations.  Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either:  (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Administrative Agent or any Lender when disclosed to such party, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Administrative Agent or Lender through no fault of such party; or (b) is disclosed to Administrative Agent or a Lender by a third party, provided such party does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.  Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose its relationship with Borrower, including use of Borrower’s logo in such Lender’s promotional materials.
12.9    Patriot Act Notice.  Lenders notify Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of of “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations (including the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “ Patriot Act “), Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow each Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with such rules and regulations.  The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assist the Administrative Agent or any such Lender in maintaining compliance with such applicable rules and regulations.
13.    ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
13.1    Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
13.2    Delegation of Duties.  Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its, or its Affiliates’, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to obtain and rely upon the advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13.3    Liability of Administrative Agent.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no Administrative Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document (other than the Administrative Agent) to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.


33.







13.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent.  As between Administrative Agent and Lenders, Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of all Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of all Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
13.5    Notice of Default.  Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default and/or Event of Default, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower, describing such default or Event of Default. Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  Administrative Agent shall take such action permitted by this Agreement with respect to an Event of Default as it elects or as may be directed in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9.1(a); provided, however, that while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders to protect and safeguard the Collateral, including, without limitation, satisfaction of other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the Loan Documents, payment of taxes on behalf of Borrower, payments to landlords, warehouseman, bailees and other Persons in possession of the Collateral, and actions with respect to insurance claims for casualty events affecting Borrower and/or the Collateral.
13.6    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Administrative Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Administrative Agent-Related Person.
13.7    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall, severally and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, indemnify upon demand each Administrative Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person from and against all Claims (which shall not include legal expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by it; provided, 


34.







however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Administrative Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 13.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall, severally and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Lender Expenses incurred after the Closing Date) incurred by Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent, and not as a Lender) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent of any portion of such amounts to the extent determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 13.7. The undertaking in this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of Administrative Agent.
13.8    Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its Credit Extensions, CNB shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include CNB in its individual capacity.
13.9    Successor Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ prior notice to Lenders and Borrower.  If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, all Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (or the Affiliates thereof) a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the approval of Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders (or the Affiliates thereof).  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” means such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without any other further act or deed on its behalf.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 13 and Section 12.1 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
13.10    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding relative to Borrower, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Credit Extensions and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and 


35.







Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding); and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.
Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such Insolvency Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, if Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  To the extent that Administrative Agent fails timely to do so, each Lender may file a claim relating to such Lender’s claim.
13.11    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any guarantor and any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the date that all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or Obligations that have been cash collateralized in accordance herewith) due hereunder have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash and no Commitment Amounts or other obligations of any Lender to provide funds to Borrower under this Agreement remain outstanding, (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 12.5. Upon Administrative Agent’s request at any time, all Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, pursuant to this Section 13.11.
